In the nearly 2-minute clip posted by Youtube account Nkalanga Bango, a domestic dog is being squeezed by a rock python.

Thinking that death would come to the dog was only a matter of time, but by its resilience it rose up and fought back fiercely. The dog was finally freed from the deadly grip of the rock python.

It even dragged the python into a bush and then repeatedly bit the body of the predator. Being severely counterattacked, the python sadly let go of the dog and let it escape.
