A dog in Karnataka miraculously survived after remaining stuck with a leopard in a toilet for hours.
Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan shared the interesting story on his Twitter account with a picture that shows both animals sitting uncomfortably in the toilet just meters apart. The incident reportedly took place in Karnataka's Bilinele village, when the dog entered a toilet trying to escape the leopard. When the big cat followed it inside, residents of the house bolted the door from the outside.
A photograph shared by Mr Kaswan on Twitter shows the dog cowering in a corner.
"Every dog has a day. Imagine this dog got stuck in a toilet with a leopard for hours. And got out alive. It happens only in India," he wrote.
