MASONVILLE, Colo. (July 23) - 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.

The dog did a great job and deserves all of the credit, but I have to wonder what really happened.... rattle snakes don't just slither up, rattle, and strike. Something had to provoke that snake---be it the kid or the dog.
Anyway, good job for a little dog. ;)
