'Literally almost filled my eyes with tears knowing he risked his life to save me,' the man wrote in a Facebook post that has been shared over 45,000 times.
A dog named Ruger heroically saved his owner, an Alabama man named Zackary Pate, from being attacked by a Copperhead snake.
When Pate looked down, he saw something in Ruger's mouth. At first, he assumed it was a stick, since Ruger often plays with sticks. However, he soon realized the"stick" was actually a Copperhead, a venomous brown snake. Immediately after, Pate felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for his dog's actions. His dog had saved his life, or at least saved him from a trip to the hospital.
If the snake had bitten him, Pate would've had to run about 250 yards to his truck. Running, Pate said, could've made the snake's venom travel even more quickly through his body.
