SYDNEY: An Australian sheepdog is fighting for its life after being bitten while saving its owner from a huge and deadly snake, local media reported Wednesday.Eastern brown snake? I've heard of the tiger snake and a few others, but the eastern brown snake rings no bells.
Fay Palethorpe, 68, was gardening on her large Gold Coast property when she encountered a two-metre (six-foot) eastern brown snake, the Australian media reported.

Looks like it's from the cobra family.
The Latin name, Pseudonaja, means "false cobra."
