In a strange incident, a stray dog found itself locked inside a toilet with a leopard for nearly seven hours on Wednesday. Both the animals were discovered by a resident of Karnataka’s Bilinele village and she quickly bolted the door and alerted the police.
How Did They Get There?
According to a journalist, the dog was being chased by the leopard and to survive it found a hiding spot in a residential toilet. However, the leopard still managed to follow it inside it. When the lady of the house opened the bathroom in the morning, she immediately bolted it from outside and alerted the police.
Why Didn’t The Leopard Attack The Dog?
Raghavendra, a forest officer, said that leopards prefer to attack in stealth but here, it may have been wary of the dog defending itself and the lack of a clear escape route.
Later the leopard managed to escape and the dog was rescued alive. Locals have identified the dog as Bollu.
The incident has attracted mixed reactions from netizens. Some showed concern whereas some didn’t miss the opportunity to crack jokes about the incident.
