Dog Leaps Away From Ladder Snake

Occurred on September 28, 2025 / Beniarres, Alicante, Spain

Info from Licensor: "We live in a town of less than 1000 inhabitants, the dogs being countryside and a safe area are allowed to run loose, as long as they do not go into the town or along the road. On Sunday we went out for a walk and a ladder snake crossed in front of our feet, I had my phone in my hand and wanted to record the snake. Milka, my dog, was curious to see what it was, but I watched it from the sidelines, Pancho came immediately. He didn't know what was happening but as he heard us screaming he came running, he sniffed without knowing what he was looking for, that's when he accidentally stepped on the snake and made the big leap, hence our laughter. We immediately grabbed the dogs, put them on their leashes and left. Nobody was hurt."
