A dog has gone viral after it got bitten by a snake on the nose, leaving its head swelling up like the cartoon character Snoopy.
Xuebi, a Husky, was found by his owner, from Anhui city in east China suffering from facial swelling around his snout, and drooling in his front garden, reports Daily Star.
The owner then filmed a video - which he posted on Douyin, a TikTok equivalent in China - showing young Xuebi looking drowsy while staring at the camera.
The footage shows the canine's head almost double in size, as the man says his pet got bitten by a snake in the nose.
The owner then took a picture of the snake and immediately rushed the pup to a veterinarian, who identified the snake as the venomous short-tailed pit viper that can be mostly found in China.
Luckily the vet treated the poor dog an anti-venom and he's recovering slowly.
The video has since been widely shared as viewers commented that the dog was "lucky" to be alive.
One commented: "That is so sad. Praying for little Xuebi to get well soon."
"Poor boy it must be painful! Looks like he got bitten in the snout," a second wrote.
Some teased the dog's swollen face and said he looks like "Snoopy" the beagle.
"You've got yourself a new pet!" another penned.
In an updated post three days later, the owner shows Xuebi's recovery - the swelling has significantly gone down and Xuebi looks happier than ever.
Last year in Singapore, animal lovers pleaded for help after spotting a dog with a swollen snout.
The poor fur baby was unable to eat and drink due to the pain and discomfort around the mouth.
