This adorable puppy found itself in an unlikely scrape after trying to play with a snake which wrapped itself around its body. <br /><br />The two-month-old dog was heard whimpering in the grounds of a Buddhist temple in Songkhla province, southern Thailand on November 14.<br /><br />The harmless golden tree snake - which normally feeds on lizards, bats, and small rodents - had tried to bite off something far bigger than it could chew and coiled itself around the curious puppy, which was trying to play with it.<br /><br />Luckily, a temple visitor Panida Kanwong, 32, heard the puppy's cries for help and went over to look. She filmed the scene while using a steel girder to prod the green snake away. It slithered away under a building.<br /><br />The little dog then lay on the ground crestfallen - and a little shaken - as it recovered from the ordeal. <br /><br />Panida said: ''I had heard the dog crying for about half an hour. But there are often dogs making noises so I didn't think anything was wrong. <br /><br />''When it kept crying I thought I better go to look. That's when I found the snake around it. It looked like they were playing, but the snake wouldn't let go. The puppy also couldn't escape. <br /><br />''I think the puppy had been curious and tried to play with the snake. He looked so cute. Then he was so sad afterwards. I had to laugh a little bit, it was a situation I have never seen before.''<br /><br />The puppy, which lives at the Buddhist temple, was unhurt in the incident. <br /><br />Golden tree snakes have small teeth and are mildly venomous.
