A pet dog in China is going viral after heroically saving her owner from a venomous pit viper.

The brave Shiba Inu, named Hetao, jumped in front of a short-tailed Mamushi viper in their garden, taking the bite herself and preventing her owner from being seriously injured.

The incident happened on the morning of August 29, when Hetao’s owner, Meng, heard her dogs barking outside. 

Rushing to the garden, she saw the snake coiled and ready to strike, but before it could, Hetao jumped forward and was bitten on the face. Within minutes, her head began to swell.

Panicked, Meng and her husband rushed Hetao to the nearest veterinary clinic, only to discover that no antidote was available. 

While Meng stayed by Hetao’s side to monitor her condition, her husband drove hours to Beijing to find the life-saving snakebite medicine they needed.

Fortunately, her husband was able to find an antidote and quickly gave it to Hetao. They then went home and stayed by her side for the entire night. 

By morning, Hetao was brought back to the clinic for further treatment. Gradually, the swelling subsided, and her strength began to return.

After a week, Hetao recovered back to full health. “She risked her life to save me. I did everything to save her,” Meng said

“Everything we did was so we could keep each other company in the future,” she said, adding that she would spare no effort to protect her dogs because they are her family.

During the early 2000s financial crisis, Japan Airlines was hit with heavy losses. While most executives might have turned to layoffs, CEO Haruka Nishimatsu chose another path.

He slashed his own salary by 60 percent, taking home just $90,000, less than some pilots, despite leading one of the world’s largest airlines.

Nishimatsu also gave up executive perks. He commuted by city bus, wore discount suits, and ate in the cafeteria with staff.

Instead of isolating himself in a corner office, he removed his office door to remain approachable, sending a clear message that management should be visible and accountable.

“We in management should work for the front-line people. It’s the front-line people who are working for the customers,” Nishimatsu shared.

By rejecting corporate luxuries, he demonstrated that leadership meant standing with employees rather than separating himself from their struggles.

His choices helped preserve jobs and morale as Japan Airlines attempted to stabilize its operations.

By sacrificing personally, he avoided multiple layoffs and showed that protecting livelihoods was more important than executive wealth or short-term shareholder gains.

Despite his efforts, Japan Airlines filed for bankruptcy protection on January 19, 2010, during a government-backed restructuring.

As part of the overhaul, Nishimatsu resigned. His departure marked the end of a chapter, but his leadership decisions continued to be studied worldwide.

“If you are a leader, you must set the example. You can’t just order people around.” he famously stated.

His legacy endures as proof that selfless leadership can inspire trust and respect, even in the most difficult economic conditions. Haruka Nishimatsu’s approach remains a rare model in today’s world.
