'It actively stalked the dog for a number of days. The family that owned the dog had actually seen it in the dog's bed, which was a sign it was out to get it," Douglas told local media.'
i actually think that is valid proof the snake was after the dog. scrubs are extremely intelligent as far as pythons go... think of it like a snake using sent cues to find its way into a burrow and wait for a rat or whatever to return.
as far as the story... i have to imagine that there's several hundred other aussies out there thinking, 'big deal, that happens all the time'. especially in brisbane where the morelia species are abundant and being pushed to the limit by suburban sprawl.
