This is an extract, taken from the BBC World News website ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6997235.stm ) and which narrates the story of a woman's dedication and courage in saving her pet dog from the grips of death, literally.
A Hong Kong woman kicked and punched a 4.5 metre (15 foot) Burmese python to wrest free her pet dog after the snake wrapped itself around it.
Catherine Leonard grappled with the python after it attacked Poppy during a walk in the Sai Kung country park.
Ms Leonard, 41, said she heard "a yelping that was like a scream".
She said she acted because she remembered a husky dog was crushed by a python last year in the same area despite the owner's attempt to save it.
