It is generally believed that dogs are very loyal. But have you ever heard about the loyalty of buffaloes? If not, then let us tell you how in Sheopur, Madhya Pradesh, buffaloes saved the life of their owner, an elderly shepherd, by fighting with a ferocious wild bear. Actually, Ram Prasad Rawat, a resident of Rizetha village of the district, was attacked by a female bear.
