While the number of puppies that succumbed to the cobra bite is not clear, ANI claims that one of the pups that was bitten has survived. After witnessing the standoff, the men pulled the snake out of the fight using a metal rod, and held it up among a curious crowd.

'The snake was already aggressive and in an attacking mode. If we tried to save the puppies it would have bitten us too. So we didn't risk it,' the person filming the attack said.
