I wonder if it would've been a good idea to cut the dog's ear off? Just asking.

Hope the pup recovers.

I’m not surprised at the heroism displayed by this magnificent dog. I hope she survives...but if not, all dogs go to heaven.

And my second thought is this species of animal is subjected to the Michael Vicks of the world.....

This article follows another one posted last night about a different Aussie dog that fought off a Brown Snake to protect a family member. He survived the bite.

And, after reading about these brown snakes, Rattlers, Moccasins and Copperheads don’t seem so bad.........

Aww, and I just fussed at one of my babies tonight for being a pain in the rear. I’m tired, been driving all day, and my setter wanted to run in and out the door every 10 minutes.

I’m going to go hug her now. She’d fight a snake, or a gorilla for that matter, to save me from harm.

Prayers up for Tess!
