A TikTok video of a pet dog who hurled away a snake, like it was a stick has been shared online and it is now going viral. It is unclear where the incident took place but a Doberman comes running towards his owner and on spotting the snake, he picks it up, shakes it vigorously and hurls away into the bushes. The video is going viral but while most people are impressed by the 'Good Boy' for helping his owner, others feel it was completely unnecessary since the snake did not seem like a threat. The video is now getting mixed reactions. Dogs Moxie and Miley Fight Snake to Save Baby in Kidapawan City in Philippines, Watch Heart-Touching Video.
