Dog bites shark and goes viral
Video footage of a dog attacking a shark under water on the Australian coast has "gone viral," becoming a top Internet hit.
The footage shows two dogs swimming in the ocean near the West Australian town of Broome, about 1,650 km (1,025 miles) northeast of Perth.
The dogs appear to be herding several sharks toward shore, when one suddenly ducks under the water and attacks a shark.
"The dog is biting the shark," said Russell Hood-Penn in the voice-over as he video-taped the incident. "That is unbelievable. I've seen it all now."
Hood-Penn placed the footage on video-sharing website YouTube (here), where it has been viewed more than 27 million times.
When the camera pans out, a dead dugong (a large marine mammal similar to a manatee) can be seen beached on the shore and Hood-Penn speculates that is the reason the sharks are circling so close to shore.
At the end of the video the dog emerges from the ocean and shakes the water from its fur. There was no word on the fate of the shark.

dogs are beautiful,loyal and kind animals.That's the reason they are called a man's best friend.sadly for me, my parents prevented me from having dogs in my childhood as my father was obsessed with the thought that 'koi farishtay nahi aingay ghar may" if dogs were kept as pets. i can't believe that farishtay can be offended by such innocent and beautiful animals.I feel a little angry at times that religion forced me to miss out on having dogs as pets in my childhood but i am rectifying that with my kids now and they have 3 puppies to play around with. all pets including dogs are a great blessing from allah and should be cared for and loved as such.
