I pasted this from the news online (look at yahoo news if you want).

The puppy I am getting is of a very large breed, but even little dogs can be amazing!

Tiny dog saves baby from rattlesnake 1 hour, 25 minutes ago


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.

Maybe it is my cynical side, but I get the feeling that had it of been a pit bull the title would have read...

"Rattle snake bites pit bull as pit bull lunges to eat the face off an innocent little child"

This really is a great story for dog lovers everywhere and a great example of dog's bond with their family.

Chihuahuas sure are courageous dogs. I have no doubt that my Chi, Abby, would do anything to protect her family.
