Boy, 5, bitten by giant nine-foot python and dragged into swimming pool

A little boy miraculously survived after a nine-foot snake dragged him into a swimming pool.

Beau Blake, five, was out playing beside the pool in the garden of his family's home in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia when the enormous python struck.

After dragging him in, Beau's 76-year-old granddad was the hero who dived into the pool to rescue him.
