Dog Takes Bite Meant for Baby
This story warms even my crabbed pupphobic heart.
One-year-old Booker West was splashing his hands in a birdbath in his grandparents' backyard in Colorado when a rattlesnake slithered up to the baby and rattled.
Booker didn't flinch. He's a baby. He likes rattles.
The snake struck. But he didn't get Booker. Because Zoey the 5-pound Chihuahua jumped in the way and took the bullet. Grandma says:
These little bitty dogs, they just don't really get credit.
For a time it was touch and go for the furball. But she's all better now. Go Zoey Go!
