FORT COLLINS, Colorado -- Zoey the dog is being called a hero, after protecting a baby from a rattlesnake.
Monty Long's one-year-old grandson was playing outside when the snake slithered up.Long says the five pound chihuahua jumped in when the two got too close. "She just knew, she knew the baby was in danger. he didn't know what the rattle sound was, he didn't realize the snake was there."
The rattlesnake bit Zoey, but Long says she's a survivor."There is a puncture above her eye. The one is the scar there, snake actually slit her head. her head was like a grapefruit," Long said.
Long eventually killed the snake which measured more than 3 feet long.
