Family dog saves 7 year old.   Takes repeated attacks from a rattlesnake to protect the child.   

They have to put an IV of antivenom because of all the attacks.    Crazy 

Now there is a good, old fashioned, human life story that can warm all of our hearts. They should give that dog a medal, and the biggest rawhide bone ever made.

43K raised so far, on 10K vet bills (so far).  They appear to be making money, now.

Each vial is $618 and the dog gets 5-6 a day.   

Plus icu care of $1500 per day.   Any extra will go to local German Shepard rescues.    They had a break down on the gofundme earlier.  

That poor dog !
It was thrust into the social construct of protector by the ignorant, oppressive, cisgender, patriarchy with human privilege that hold these psychologically conditioned souls in slavery.

When will the mental/emotional rape of these animals be stopped ?

Why spend anything on the dog? It knew what it was doing when it took the risk. No one forced it to save the girl.

Because a dog smart enough to recognize a venomous snake is a dog smart enough to save?

Good dog.

Because he is a member of the family.   And his membership doubt went out the window when he stood in strong between a child and a rattlesnake.    

It's stories like this why I could never imagine going without a dog.

So you're saying the girl ASKED for it?

Agreed.   We don't currently own a dog but it's not for want it's because our girls can't decide on a breed.    

oldest and myself want a big dog.   Wife and youngest want a little dog.    I imagine we are heading for a 2 dog home.

Hate to quote myself but to add to this....   


This dog is hero and because of him these people aren't possibly burying their child.  I know his treatment is expensive and he may not make it but he gave this family a gift.   

Amazing
