The golden-haired dog is bitten by poisonous rattlesnake and swollen half of the face while protecting the owner in Arizona, USA.

Todd jumped until he saw the owner almost stepped on the rattlesnake on the trail in Arizona state."Todd ran quickly to my feet. It was when he was bitten by a snake. He yelped. I picked him up and ran down the hill with my other dog Copper. We went to the hospital after about 10 minutes. He was quickly injected with serum and stayed in the hospital for about 12 hours. Todd saved me from the bite, he was my hero , " Paula said.

Paula explained that she noticed the risk of meeting the rattlesnake around where she lived, but this snake was almost undetectable."I am a native of Arizona. I know all the dangers, I am very alert to where I live and around. This snake does not reveal any signs that he is there. It is a snake. White bell tail with speckled gray streaks, it's just like the road, " Paula said.

Todd's photos with a snake bite are widely shared on social networks. According to Paula, Todd is recovering and completely healthy.
