2.Chief vs. Cobra
No breed of dog on the planet has a worse reputation than the American pit bull terrier. This article itself mentions two cases where other dogs were called upon to save their loved ones from these powerful canines. But when properly raised, the pit bull is as loyal, loving, and courageous as any other breed.
Case in point: Chief, from Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. At 2:00 PM on February 12, 2007, a cobra slithered into the kitchen of Maria Frontreras’s home, menacing Maria and her elderly grandmother. The snake easily could have killed the two women, but before it could bite them, Chief seized it and shook it to death.
The cobra bit the pit bull on the jaw. Maria sought help from a veterinarian, but it was too late because the bite was too close to Chief’s brain.
Maria called her husband home from his job at Nestle Philippines, and he arrived just in time to watch Chief slip away,wagging his tail a few last times. The family waited until their children came home from school to say goodbye to their beloved pet before giving Chief a hero’s burial.
