Girl (12) swings large snake in the air like a lasso - to save her guinea pig. Rosie Wightman, 12, is seen in the silent video footage cleaning her pet's cage in her garden before spotting the rodent in the clutches of a snake hidden in the bushes.
With presence of mind - and fearlessness - Rosie grabs the snake and spins it wildly before her parents and pet dogs hear the commotion and run outside. The family can be seen comforting Rosie, who finally manages to get MaxiBon out of the bushes and wrap him in her arms.
