A video that shows a confrontation between a dog and a lioness in a wildlife reserve is being widely shared on social media with many commenting on the dog’s bravery.
The undated clip was shared on Twitter by Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan. It wasn’t clear where the video was recorded.
In the 1.34-minute clip, the wild cat can be seen chasing the dog as tourists watch. But the dog continues to bark at the lioness and then runs away.
“Need this much confidence in life. Dog vs Lion. It also highlights the issue of stray dogs and wildlife interaction,” wrote Kaswan in the tweet.

The lioness is in frolicsome mood. Just playing with the dog. But no denying, the dog has courage. 👍
