Australia is renowned for creepy crawlies however, when local wildlife encroaches upon human habitat for a feed of domestic pets all rules of equilibrium in nature become somewhat skewed!

One local family is traumatized following a rather handsome python devouring their much loved canine companion.

The family attempted to save their pet while also telephoning for assistance from wildlife experts.

Although a professional snake handler was there in quick-time it was too late to save their brave little dog.
