The saying “big things come in small packages” is especially true when you consider the story of Zoey, a five pound Chihuahua who saved a baby boy from a poisonous rattlesnake in Colorado. Booker West, a 1-year-old boy was splashing his hands in a birdbath in his grandparents’ northern backyard when a three-foot-long snake slithered up to the toddler and got too close for comfort. He rattled his tail and went to strike the baby. Zoey jumped in the way just in time and took the bites. Although she sustained a serious bite above her eye, Zoey is fine and the baby boy was left unscathed.
