Woman fights off giant python in Hong Kong HONG KONG -- A woman threw herself into battle with a giant snake after it tried to strangle her pet dog to death, a Hong Kong newspaper reported Sunday. Catherine Leonard was walking in a country park when the 4.5-meter (15-foot) long Burmese python attacked her beloved Poppy. Leonard, 41, rushed to the rescue, grappling with the huge snake as one of her other dogs barked furiously in alarm, the South China Morning Post reported. "I kicked it and I tried to pull Poppy free. The snake was twisted around her, that was the problem," she said. "Somehow Poppy managed to get away and the python slithered away." |
