Ricky just returned home from shopping. He placed his grocery bags close to the refrigerator before leaving the house. The door was left unlocked.
He noticed his cat hissing angrily and leaping back and forth when he got back. The man ignored the cat and left the room once more.
The cat was in the same spot when he returned the following time. The man made an effort to determine the cat’s problem. The cat was hissing at the shopping bags, he noted.
It was one of Australia’s most poisonous snakes. The bite could be deadly.
Arthur was successful in defending the kids by getting rid of the snake.
No one realized that Arthur had been bitten in the haste to get the kids out of the danger area.
Then Arthur fell but seemed to rise swiftly, as if nothing had happened.
The Animal Emergency Service claims that among pet owners, collapse is not a common sign of snake bites.
The following morning, Arthur fell again, and his owners were alerted by his difficulty standing up and brought him to the animal hospital.
Unfortunately, he gave in to the poison, leaving behind a bereaved family that is grateful for his bravery and will remember him with affection.
