The Golden Retriever puppy Todd was considered a hero to be endangered in order to protect his owner from a rattlesnake. In the adventure, he ended up being bitten in the face and recovering.

The case was produced in the US state of Arizona last Friday. The owner, Paula Godwin, posted the story on Facebook, with photos of Todd's bloated face.
"We were walking on the mountain and almost trampled a rattlesnake, but Todd, my hero, saved me," she said.

Todd went into action when Paula found herself face to face with the rattlesnake during a mountain hike. "He ran to my leg," Paula told the BBC. "It's when he was bitten."
"Todd started whining afterwards, crying, I took him on my knees, I went down the mountain with my other dog, the Copper, and we took him to the hospital, we arrived about 10 minutes later. "
"He took the antidote for the bite soon after, and stayed in the hospital for about 12 hours," reports the owner of the puppy. "He surely saved me from being bitten by the rattlesnake, that's my hero."
Paula said she knew the risks of finding a rattlesnake on the way. But, according to her, the reptile that stung Todd went unnoticed.
"I come from Arizona, I know the dangers and I am aware of the places where are the soil and its surroundings, but this snake did not give any idea that I was the." Generally, if I hear the rattlesnake, and I keep it away. I think this snake was just resting on the road. It was a gray rattlesnake, it looked like the road, "says Paula.
"I am so alert, so vigilant, but I have not seen the snake," he lamented.
Todd's photos were very divided. Paula said that she was surprised by the reaction of people on social networks, but added that "Todd deserves". "It's amazing, I'm just a little town with his dogs, but I loved that people see Todd as the hero he's really."
And how is Todd's health? "He's fine, it looks like he's going to have a nice recovery and he's going to be completely good," he added. "He acts like a normal puppy, he's my hero."
