 Loyal dog sacrifices his life to save owner from snake attack

Dogs are not only man's best friend, but also man's hero and protector. A loyal dog has been called a hero after sacrificing his life to save its owner from a venomous snake.

Dad and Rick were tug-of-war in the backyard when the dog jumped at his feet and growled. It all happened so fast that Dad fell and wondered what had happened.
He growled [ᴀɢɢʀᴇssɪᴠᴇly] and looked like he was fighting with something. It all happened in the blink of an eye and Dad fell. He didn't know what happened. Then he saw Rick shaking what he thought was the rope in his mouth. But this is not the rope used in a tug of war...
To his surprise, it was a rattlesnake!
