It was when the dog spotted a giant poisonous snake (Russell's viper) coming towards his owner while Amit was unaware of the same. The dog pounced on the serpent before it reached his owner to save him.

In the prolonged snake-dog fight, Gabbar managed to bite the venomous snake into two pieces and killed it, but not before receiving deadly bites that led to its death later.
