A family adopted a new German Shepherd and was so excited to have what they thought was the perfect dog for the family. Then one day, the dog approached the family’s 7-year-old daughter and seemed to be very hostile toward her. The family’s grandma watched from inside in horror and when she went outside, the dog was covered in blood and the daughter was screaming.

What they found out though was that the dog had rescued the 7-year-old from a diamond back snake. The dog had suffered some severe injuries from the snake and needed vet attention right away. A vet went right to work at removing the venom.
