On social media, a horrifying video of a leopard breaking into a home and attacking a pet dog has gone viral. Parveen Kaswan of the Indian Forest Services (IFS) shared the video on Twitter.

A pet dog stands in front of the house’s gate in this clip taken from a CCTV camera. Something makes it bark. The dog rushes out of the frame a few seconds into the video. A leopard enters the house and chases the pet after jumping over the gate.

Here’s the link to the viral video:

The leopard is then seen dragging the dog about in its mouth. By hopping over the barrier again, it runs with the dog.

“See that leopard. Others don’t stand a chance,” Kaswan wrote in the video’s caption.

“This is an unusual sight for some. But in many regions including hilly areas Leopards usually hunt dogs. So local people keep an iron collar over their pets. Which saves them. Also in many regions, stray dogs are huge trouble for leopards,” Kaswan said in another tweet.

On the microblogging platform, the 26-second video has gone viral. It has over 2,500 likes and has been seen over 60,000 times.

As one user put it, “Pretty sad for the pet parent. It’s a big loss for them.” Someone else wrote, “An apex predator, not for nothing! Such agility, dominance.”

“This is how your best friend takes you to chai tapri,” a third person jokes. “HOT DOGS ARE LEOPARDS’ FAVORITE FOOD,” another joked.
