Yorkie takes a snakebite for his owner

And lived to tell the tale.
Normally, I'd poke fun at anyone that names a Yorkie "Bear", but this little guy earned it.
 
Boudraux the Bassett took a bite from a copper head when my wife and daughter were walking to our creek. He was raising hell at them running back and forth. His foot swelled up and he was a bit stupid for a few hours, then fine. Still has two black marks on his ankle 4 years later.
 
my last German shorthair was helping as he always did with never leaving my side while pressure washing a house. Blasted about half dozen black widows out of the corners of some windows. Then right as I had a double cascading down the wall of water he came running by at what seemed the perfect time to brush up against the wall. He went to hollering like a stuck pig so I ran him in the house and he started having uncontrollable nerve spasms in his rear legs. Called my vet and she said give him a Benadryl and unless something crazy happens he should be fine. Crazy nerve spasms all over body for about 4 hours then they started subsiding went to bed that evening and when we woke up in the morning he was back to 100% GSP bouncing off the walls ready to hunt. Dogs are tough for sure
