Pet dog survives rattlesnake attack

"Since a chance encounter with Michigan's only
venomous snake, Kodi, a 3-year-old Samoyed,
has lost control of an eyelid, drools and can't
handle hot weather.

But to Brenda Lacroix of Davisburg, Kodi is a
114-pound white knight that saved her from a
snake attack during a June walk in Shiawassee
Basin Park in Springfield Township. And without
antivenom from the Detroit Zoo, she believes she
would have lost him.

"Some days, I look at him and my heart breaks,
'What a brave boy,' " she said. . ."

Wish I could post the pic of the sweet doggy, but the Free Press doesn't allow it. Check the link.

Might lose one of ours soon; 15 and failing. I have been privileged in my life to be owned by the best dogs in the world. Kodi sounds like one I would like to get to know.

Now have the most affectionate 1 year old Lab-Springer mix you can ever meet. Meet Sara, Queen of the Loveseat.

Missy was 16. We shall always remember her.

All talk is cheap until then, I'm sure you agree.

Unconditional Love.

My dog was bitten by a rattler in AZ when I was in 5th grade. It was touch and go for about a week, but he came through it. He couldn't lift his head and we kept water right by his nose.

What a beautiful pup he is. It's ok about the drool. My Jake drools, but he doesn't have a rattlesnake encounter as an excuse!

god love them all....:hug:
