This is the moment when three boys boldly approach a large snake wrapped around the lower torso and hind legs of their beloved dog.

The video shows the older boy trying to fix the snake’s head on the grass with what appears to be a metal table leg, while the two younger boys try to get the snake to release their dog by throwing huge leaves at it.

The dog looks more confused than terrified because his human friends are fighting with the lizard.

The older boy uses the pole to push the snake’s head to the ground, while his friends try to expose the snake, which seems to be a difficult effort at first.

Then they grab the snake by both ends and pull in opposite directions, finally weakening its grip long enough for the dog to run away.

The dog appeared uninjured by the accident.

Then the older boy calmly and proudly lifts the wriggling snake from his head, the length of which exceeds his height.

The fate of the snake is unknown.

It is not clear where the video was filmed.
