Dog in coma after saving owner from snake

YOUNG kelpie named Tess is being hailed a lifesaver after defending its owner from an attack by a deadly snake on the Gold Coast.

But the heroic pet is now rated a 50-50 chance of survival after being bitten by the giant eastern brown.

Fay Palethorpe, a 68-year-old retiree from Ingleside, was gardening on her 8ha property on Sunday morning when she encountered the brown snake which, at over 2m long, was the biggest she had ever seen.
