I saw this story on the news this morning and this dog is definitley a hero in my book. She has a little mark on the top of her head, but seems okay. There is a picture of her in the linked article.

Go Zoey! :woo: :dog:


Tiny dog saves baby from rattlesnake

MASONVILLE, Colo. - Zoey is a Chihuahua, but when a rattlesnake lunged at her owners' 1-year-old grandson, she was a real bulldog.

Booker West was splashing his hands in a birdbath in his grandparents' northern Colorado back yard when the snake slithered up to the toddler, rattled and struck. Five-pound Zoey jumped in the way and took the bites.

"She got in between Booker and the snake, and that's when I heard her yipe," said Monty Long, the boy's grandfather.

The dog required treatment and for a time it appeared she might not survive. Now she prances about.

"These little bitty dogs, they just don't really get credit," Booker's grandma Denise Long told the Loveland Daily Reporter-Herald.

Yeah, I heard about this on our local news. God bless the animals who protect us humans. With a dog that small, it's really amazing that Zoey didn't get a fatal dose of venom.
