Loyal dog sacrificed his own life to save owners from the snake strike
Dogs are not only man’s best friend, but they can also be their hero and protector. A loyal dog is being hailed a hero after sacrificing his own life to save his owner from a venomous snake.
Dad and Rick were playing a game of tug-of-war in the backyard when the dog suddenly jumped right at his feet while snarling and growling. It all happened so quickly, Dad fell down wondering what was going on.
He was growling [ᴀɢɢʀᴇssɪᴠᴇly] and it looked like he was fighting something. Everything happened in a blink of an eye and Dad fell down. He was clueless about what was going on. He then saw Rick shaking what he thought was the rope in his mouth. But it wasn’t the rope used for tug-of-war…
To his surprise, it was a rattlesnake!

Rick’s dad didn’t waste another minute and carried him to the car, despite the situation. They immediately rushed to the vet to seek medical help. As the timepiece ticked down, the effect of the snake’s ᴠᴇɴᴏᴍ started to protest and poor Rick didn’t want to be touched.
