In an incredible video of a fearless rescue, a female momma dog defended her pups from a Leopard on the India estate. The leopard was after the mother’s helpless puppy.

That same leopard didn’t realize that this mama dog wasn’t going to let her pup go without a fight.

In the mountains of India, a variety of wildlife roams the landscape, including lions, tigers, and leopards. Sometimes, they come down to the residential areas.

Near a forestry office in the state of Himachal Pradesh, one of the officials on duty heard a ruckus outside. Upon further investigation, he saw a female dog tending to her small pup, who appeared to have some cuts and scrapes.

It wasn’t until he watched surveillance footage that the foiled puppy-napping was seen. The innocent pup is leisurely walking along when the leopard pounces out of the darkness. Like a lightning bolt, the pup’s mom bounces onto the scene and fends off the leopard.
