Ms Douglas was about to leave home earlier this week when she heard a commotion in her backyard and found Panda, the puppy, being suffocated by the python. "I grabbed a plastic mop and thought maybe I could wedge it in between the snake and the dog," she said."Then all of a sudden, this guy scales the back fence and he grabs the snake's head and wedges a hand in between where the snake is coiling around my dog's neck.
"I thought the puppy was a goner, for sure ... I thought there was no coming back from that," Ms Douglas said.
