'A search by wildlife officials on Wednesday turned up empty for a venomous cobra that slithered its way into a Southern California neighborhood and bit a resident's dog.'
"I came up the street and here's this white thing slithering across," said neighbor Rick Eddy, who spotted the snake on Tuesday. "I just thought it was a piece of rope, but as I passed, I realized that's not a piece of rope, that's a snake."
'The dog was taken to a veterinary hospital after the attacked and released the same evening, the owner said. The pup could be seen with a wrap around his neck.'
Experts say the snake is likely to appear in the evenings when it's cooler, and will attack if cornered. Although the poor dog in the picture was just trying to get away.
Anyone who sees it should run away - then call 911 or the numbers below.
