A pack of Gaddi dogs, deployed to guard the livestock, immediately sprang into action, sighting the leopard and cornering it in one section of the farm, preventing it from escaping into open areas. The pack of dogs also saved the owners from the attack of the leopard.
A leopard attacked a goat farm in Himachal Pradesh’s Sirmaur district late at night, injuring the two owners and triggering panic in the area. A dramatic video of the incident has gone viral on social media, where the Gaddi dogs have confronted the leopard.
The leopard entered the farm premises in Satiwala near Nahan, during the night. A pack of Gaddi dogs deployed to guard the livestock immediately sprang into action and cornered the animal in one section of the farm, preventing it from escaping into open areas.
Gaddi dogs are a mastiff-type mountain dog breed indigenous to the Western Himalayas in India, specifically Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Kashmir. These robust dogs are used by local shepherds for herding and protecting sheep and goats from predators like snow leopards
When the farm gate was opened in the morning, the leopard allegedly launched a sudden attack on two men, identified as Sangram and Neeraj.
Amid the chaos, the Gaddi dogs bravely diverted the leopard’s attention and helped the two men escape from its grip. The farm owner sustained injuries and is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital.
In an attempt to flee from the dogs, the leopard hid inside a narrow drainage culvert pipe nearby.
