Dog vs leopard: Video of a canine scaring away a big cat goes viral

It appears that the video was shot at a national park or wildlife sanctuary and was recorded by someone in a safari jeep.

Many people have praised the dog for its “confidence” and “bravery” under adverse circumstances. Interestingly, some people also pointed out that the leopard might have abandoned the dog because of the presence of humans.

“If that leopard had been hungry it would have been MORE aggressive than this,” a Twitter user commented. While another noted that the dog’s presence in a forested area is odd. “What lack of lacunae! The debate here needs to be the presence of the dog in the forested area. Not ought to encourage it through sharing these videos as some sort of motivation,” the user noted.
