A Doberman has saved a toddler from a deadly snake bite in what has been described as an unbelievable act.
As 17-month-old Charlotte Svillicic frolicked in the backyard of her Far North Queensland home on Monday, a king brown snake — the world's third most venomous — approached, The Cairns Postreported.
Khan, a Doberman new to the Svillicic's Atheron home just four days after rescuing it from an animal shelter, was alerted to the danger and miraculously flung the little girl from the snake's reach, and earned a poisonous bite on the leg for its troubles.
"If I had not seen it with my own eyes I would never have believed it," Charlotte's mother, Catherine Svillicic, told The Post.
"Khan was really concentrating and was acting aggressive towards Charlotte and kept trying to nudge her but it wasn't working, so he grabbed her by the back of the nappy and threw her more than a metre.
"Charlotte looked pretty shocked and then Khan screamed.
"I realised quickly it was a snake and Khan had been trying to get in between her and the snake before he threw her."
Khan received a shot of anti-venom from a local vet and apart from being very sick of the night of the attack, will make a full recovery.

I just love this saying. It touches me and makes me think of my pal Oliver.

A man was walking down a street in the centre of Manchester and saw a Rotweiler attacking an old lady.
He immediately ran over to the dog and started to struggle in which he sustained many bites, but he eventually he got his hands around the dog's neck and strangled it until it was dead.
A passing reporter commented: that was lucking fantastic how you saved that old dears life!, I have to write a story about this, how about the headline - Manchester United fan saves granny's life?
"I'm not a Utd fan", replied the bloke.
"Well how about Man City fan saves granny's life"? said the reporter.
"I'm not a City fan either" said our hero, " I'm from Liverpool".
"Never mind I know just the headline, you read the paper tomorrow" said the reporter.
The man picked up the paper the following day to read the headline - SCOUSE LUCKER KILLS FAMILY PET!!

God is dog spelled backwards. God should be so aspiring as to live up to such company. I guarantee you, you'll get more from you dog than you will from god.
He stays up all night wondering if there really is a dog.
