Puppy has close call with large snake

A video has emerged from Almeria, Spain of a puppy coming dangerously close to being bitten by a large snake.

In the video, which was captured in September last year, a family out walking stumbles across a long snake.

When the snake slithers off, the pup called Sally gives chase and just manages to avoid getting bitten.

The snake, believed to be a non-venomous ladder snake or "escalera", was unharmed.
