Snake bitten dog survives

5. Me, either.

My old boss lives on a pond out in the country. She raises beagles, and has to deal with at least 3 or 4 snake bites every summer. Mostly cottonmouths, but an occasional rattlesnake bite. One of them was nailed twice already this summer. No fatalities in the 15 or so years they've lived out there. Granted, we don't get Eastern diamondbacks here, although we do get a subspecies, the canebrake rattlesnake, and they don't reach quite the size of the Easterns. The largest I have ever seen was 5-footer, which could do some major damage. Eastern diamondbacks can get well over 6 ft., I could see one of those being lethal to a dog and to a human.
