Pet dog in Saputara scares away leopard looking to prey on him

Saputara: Gujarat’s lone hill station, Saputara, has witnessed a remarkable incident. In this incident, a pet dog tied outside the house by the owner managed to scare away a leopard trying to prey on him by offering fierce resistance. This entire encounter between the leopard and the pet dog was captured by a CCTV camera.

The owner of Sai Lila Bungalow in Saputara had chained his pet dog on Wednesday night outside the home on Wednesday night for security reasons. A leopard, who was on the prowl looking for prey, sneaked into the compound of the house and attacked the dog. But instead of capitulating, the dog launched a stiff resistance and managed to scare the leopard away. The owner of the dog was awakened by the incessant barking of the dog and when he peered out of the window, what he witnessed was completely unbelievable. The leopard was trying its level best to maul the dog, which was fiercely fighting back. The leopard finally gave up and fled from the spot.

It is worthwhile to note that tourists coming to Saputara usually roam around the hill station till late at night. None of the tourists till date have reported being threatened by any wild animal during their sojourn. However, after this incident between a pet dog and the leopard, the forest department is taking appropriate steps to ensure security for the tourists. DeshGujarat.
