Omg ....Chihuahua saves boy 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,” Monty Long, the boy’s grandfather, said Thursday.

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.

You know, I love what a 12 gauge shotgun can do to a rattlesnake. A couple weeks ago one almost bit my mum when she was trying to take a bowl of dog food out to the dog. The dog and my mum are both fine, the snake however is not. I have a picture somewhere... Here we go-
