A video shared by retired Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda on social media has taken the internet by storm, showcasing a dramatic encounter between a pet dog and a leopard.
The footage captures the fearless dog standing its ground and successfully driving away the big cat, which had ventured into a human-inhabited area.
The video, posted on X (formerly Twitter), highlights the dog’s remarkable bravery as it barks aggressively, forcing the leopard to retreat into the darkness. Despite the clear size and strength difference, the dog’s determination prevails, turning the tables on the predator.
Meanwhile, the video has sparked admiration online, with many praising the dog’s courage and loyalty. However, it also raises concerns about human-wildlife conflicts and the importance of adopting safety measures to prevent such encounters in the future.

“Lucky dogo, poor little leopard. From where is this incident? From the surrounding coconut trees and the compound walls, seems to be from Konkan region (the Western ghats) in Maharashtra,” another user commented.
