MASONVILLE, Colo. (AP) - 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.

 

 

 

This doggy deserves an extra Scooby-Snack!.... :biggrin:

Chihuahuas are vicious. An old friend of mine had a pair. The male was a horny mofo, always trying to hump the female, despite the fact that she was his sister and he never got closer than three feet before she started snarling. But if they thought you so much as looked at one of the kids the wrong way... well, one of them tore my thumb wide open once. All for a "high five."

 

I hate chihuahuas.
