In a quiet Odisha village, stray dog Kali became a hero. As over 30 terrified schoolchildren sat outside, a deadly cobra approached. Kali lunged between them and the snake, fought fiercely, and killed it — but was fatally bitten in the process. She sacrificed her life to save the children. Villagers honored her with a hero’s funeral, her body draped in white and marigold garlands. A true legend.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
