A four-year-old dog lived up to his name, Tiger, by putting up a valiant fight to save his owner, a 58-year-old Darjeeling resident, from a leopard on Wednesday. After hearing noises from
a storeroom where they kept live chicken, Aruna Lama of Sonada opened the door, and will never forget what she saw: in the darkness, a pair of glowing red eyes. Even
as she tried shutting the door in utter panic, the eyes had leapt at her - it was a leopard, and she could feel its sharp claws sinking into her. As
Aruna struggled to set herself free, Tiger - a cross between a Tibetan mastiff and a mongrel - jumped to her assistance. Barking ferociously, it dived headlong at the much bigger
adversary. Taken aback, the big cat fled. The only casualty in the conflict was a chicken. "Tiger put himself between the leopard and my mother," said Smriti, Aruna's daughter. Aruna, injured
in the head and ears, received 20 stitches and is now undergoing treatment. From her hospital bed, Aruna recalled how Tiger has "repaid a debt". "We had found him, skinny with
hunger, during the 2017 statehood agitation - when there was a dearth of food in the hills due to the 104-day shutdown. We would feed him daily but tried to send
him away to his original owners. But he always came back after a while. We then took him in and Tiger became a family member," said Smriti, who works in the
police department. "Had we not met, I would not have lived to tell this tale," she added. A seven-year-old boy died on spot while his 11-year-old sister is battling for life
after they were hit by a speeding car while they were waiting for their school bus on Thursday morning. Bystanders told the police that a 15-year-old boy seemed to be in
