New Delhi: In a strange twist of fate, a stray dog was chased into a washroom of a house in Bilinele village of Dakshina district of Karnataka by a leopard early in the morning. Alerted by the noise the houseowner Jayalakshmi locked the door from outside when she saw the leopard’s tail.
Surprisingly, the predator did not attack the dog who was stuck with it for six hours, until the Forest department officials were informed and they reached the spot after 7 AM. When they looked in through the window, they were amazed both the animals lying on two sides of the washroom. After the leopard escaped, the dog walked out through the door when it was opened.
According to a PTI report, the Forest officers failed to sedate the leopard with the tranquilizer darts they had brought with themselves so that they could trap the leopard. The animal broke through the roof and the nets outside the house and escaped into the nearby forest.
Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan shared the story along with the photos of the animals in the washroom. He said in one of the tweets in the thread “Every dog has a day. Imagine this dog got stuck in a toilet with a leopard for hours. And got out alive. It happens only in India. Via @prajwalmanipal”
