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.

It's hard to imagine a world without pets.
That is such a great story. I love dogs so much! :)
I grew up sleeping with a chihuahua in my arms and another one keeping my feet warm. No rattlesnakes approached - but they were ready! :-)
