Heroic Dobermann Takes Venomous Bites From Serpent In A Bid To Save Defenseless Baby
Dogs, often referred to as man's best friend, have been loyal companions for centuries. Beyond their endearing qualities and affectionate nature, these incredible creatures possess an unwavering dedication to protecting us.
Time and time again, they have demonstrated their courage and selflessness, going above and beyond to keep us safe from harm. One remarkable story that exemplifies their unwavering commitment is the tale of Khan, a Doberman Pinscher who became a true hero.
Several years ago, Khan found himself in an animal shelter, desperately in need of a loving home. Little did anyone know that this Doberman would soon prove his extraordinary worth.
In just five days of being adopted, Khan stamped his authority in the most remarkable way possible. And we're sure that his owners can't thank him enough.
The incident took place in Atherton, Australia, where seventeen-month-old Charlotte Svillcic was innocently playing in her family's garden. At first, Khan's behavior seemed slightly aggressive as he attempted to push Charlotte away from her play area.
Concerned by his actions, his owners decided to investigate this sudden aggression from their beloved dog. Soon, they realized that Khan had detected danger—it was a King Brown Snake, one of the world's most venomous serpents.
Braving the serpent's deadly presence, Khan valiantly tried to nudge Charlotte to safety.
As the tension mounted, the snake prepared to strike the defenseless baby girl. It was at this critical moment that Khan performed an act of heroism that would forever keep him in the hearts of his new family.

“If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it,” said Charlotte’s mother, Catherine. “Khan was really concentrating; he kept trying to nudge her, but it wasn’t working, so he grabbed her by the back of the nappy and threw her over his shoulder more than a meter.”
Khan took a venomous bite to the paw, but he ensured that the snake didn't harm Charlotte in any way.
Safe and sound
“Charlotte looked pretty shocked, and Khan screamed like he’d been stabbed,” Catherine continued. “I realized quickly it was a snake, and Khan had been trying to get in between her and the snake before he threw her.”
The family was very thankful to Khan for saving Charlotte. They certainly felt indebted to this brave pup.
Catherine said they would do anything for Khan after what he did for their daughter. It was surprising that a dog who had been with them for just five days would make such a sacrifice for them.

After getting bitten, Khan quickly went inside and collapsed. He later received anti-venom from a vet to help his system cope.
Luckily, he made it through the night and was able to have a big breakfast the next day.
Catherine shared how moved her family was by Khan's brave and caring behavior. She also talked about how they came to rescue and adopt this amazing dog!
