Hero Puppy Saves Owner From Rattlesnake Bite

Todd may be just a puppy but that's not stopping everyone from calling this little guy a hero. This brave golden retriever is being credited with saving his owner’s life and the story is absolutely incredible.


Paula Godwin, from Arizona, was going out for a morning hike with her two dogs when everything changed. While they were going along the walk, Paula nearly stepped on a rattlesnake. That’s when Todd jumped right in front of her leg, shielding Paula from the serpent.

Todd was bit on the face by the rattlesnake, but his owner was left unharmed. Paula immediately sought medical attention for Todd and this sweet boy is expected to make a full recovery. She posted on Facebook about the entire ordeal and said, “My hero of a puppy Todd saved me. He jumped right in front of my leg [where] I surely would have [been] bit.”

God’s creatures are truly amazing and it’s obvious that they have a natural instinct to protect their humans. Todd isn’t even out of the puppy stage yet and he didn’t hesitate to help Paula. This is definitely one of the reasons that they say dogs are man’s best friend.

I’m so glad that Todd is going to be okay and that Paula was protected from the deadly rattlesnake. This story could’ve had a completely different ending if it wasn’t for Todd’s brave actions. This pup is absolutely a hero and I’m so glad that he’s getting the recognition that he deserves. Has your fur baby every done anything like this?
