It was a quiet morning in a residential complex in Mount Abu, Rajasthan (India). A Labrador was leisurely strolling through the garden, enjoying the calm atmosphere. Everything seemed serene until the situation took a dramatic turn.
Suddenly, a leopard leapt out of the bushes and attacked the dog. The assault was fierce, with the big cat grabbing the Labrador by the neck and attempting to wrestle it to the ground.

The harrowing scene was captured by a surveillance camera and later posted on Instagram, where it quickly went viral. The video shows the Labrador’s desperate struggle; despite being overpowered, the dog refuses to give up. However, the predator’s strength proves too much.
Then, something extraordinary happens: the dog's owner, Mala Kumari, hears the commotion and rushes out of the house. Without hesitation, she shouts loudly and approaches the leopard. Her fearless intervention startles the big cat, which releases the dog and flees.

In an astonishing moment, the injured Labrador even briefly chases after the leopard before allowing Mala to guide him back into the house.
The Labrador survived the attack and is now safe. However, the incident has sparked both relief and concern. Increasingly, leopards are venturing into residential areas in India, heightening the conflict between humans and wildlife.
The video has evoked a wave of emotions on social media. Many admire Mala Kumari’s courageous actions: “Her screams saved her dog’s life,” commented one user.
Meanwhile, others voice their worries about wildlife's proximity to homes.
