He grabs 17-month-old by diapers, flings her to safety

A RESCUED dog repaid its owners' kindness by saving their 17-month-old daughter from a snake in Cairns, Australia.



Khan, a doberman that was adopted from an animal shelter, hauled little Charlotte Svillicic by her diapers and flung her away from a king brown snake as it was about to strike on Monday.

The Daily Mail reported that the snake, one of the most venomous in the world, bit the dog on the leg.

Charlotte's mother, Mrs Svillicic, said: 'He saved her life by risking his own.

'From now on, he's Khan the Wonder Dog.'

Charlotte had been playing in the garden of her home when Khan began acting aggressively.

He had spotted the snake's hiding place beneath the house.

Mrs Svillicic said Khan kept trying to nudge Charlotte away from the snake.

When that didn't work, he threw her over his shoulder by more than a metre, 'like she was a rag doll'.

Khan received a shot of anti-venom from a vet and has fully recovered.

Cairns Post reported that the Svillicic family has been flooded by calls from national and international media about Khan.

Two rival morning shows were even embroiled in a bidding war as they fought to get Mrs Svillicic, Charlotte and Khan on their programmes.

'Khan's a star,' Mrs Svillicic said.

'There has been a bit of serious rivalry between the morning shows, each saying they don't want the story if I speak to the other.'

The story received the most hits on The Courier Mail's website, where readers left messages of praise.

Some wanted Khan to receive a bravery award.

But Khan wanted something else - sleep.

Mrs Svillicic said: 'After all the attention, he had to have a really big sleep.'

No woder ppls say dogs are human beings best friends.

人情味不是偏私而是博爱，

不是施舍而是关怀。

不是表面的礼貌，

而是内心的尊重。

Friends will bail you out of jail.but Best Friends will be sitting by you saying,
" that was awesome !"

.phoenixity.

nah doubt so...dogs' loyalty..very few humans can match...only when it really happen then u will see how loyal ur dog can be.... Humans can promise u everything, say everything u want to hear..but when it comes to the crucial moment, most cant deliver.

Singaporean owners' dogs will bite the baby first before the snake.....cheers

You think you're unsafe but it's not over. Accept for who you are, You are not alone.... There is always beauty in one's imperfections, so do not go hysterical about anything you deemed to see not up to your liking..... I am not one of them....

Hehe... think I have better impression of dogs now... used to be very scared of dogs cos have the concept that they are fierce and they bite...

我会选择离开 微笑告别伤害
我知道你心中的那份遗憾
当你为她带上幸福的头盖
我含泪祝福 你有美的未来

想飞到千里外 期待一切重来
想洗去你对你的所有依赖
但谢谢你 让我体会了真爱
我永远记得你 心中的遗憾
