Kankan reportedly engaged in a fierce battle with the cobra, a confrontation that tragically led to the dog’s death. Despite Onsay’s immediate attempts to save Kankan by rushing the faithful companion to a veterinarian, the efforts were in vain. Kankan succumbed, leaving behind a grieving owner who recognizes the immense sacrifice made by the dog.
The scene of the incident was telling, with a dead cobra and some chickens found in the vicinity, hinting at the intense struggle that took place. This discovery further solidified the belief that Kankan had indeed fought with the snake, putting itself in harm’s way to shield Onsay from potential danger.
