A pitbull saved the lives of children by attacking and killing a highly venomous King Cobra in Jhansi yesterday. The snake had entered the garden of the house in Jhansi's Shiv Ganesh colony where the children of the house's domestic help were playing.

Upon hearing them scream and cry for help after spotting the cobra, the pitbull, Jenny, who was tied on the other end of the garden, tore its leash and came to their rescue.
