Dog Barks and Bites

I love to nibble on my owner's hand when we play. It's all in fun and they know I would never bite them.
That is not the case everywhere.

A chef preparing a dish from cobra flesh died when the snake’s head bit him – 20 minutes after it was cut off.

Victim Peng Fan had been preparing a special dish made from the Indochinese spitting cobra, a rare delicacy in Asia where eating snakes is commonplace. But when he went to throw the serpent’s severed head into the waste bin, it bit him – injecting him with its fast acting venom.

Police say Mr Peng died before he could be given life saving anti-venom in hospital.

"My bark is worse than my bite."
