DOG SAVES SNAKE TOT
By Fiona May
A dog was yesterday praised for saving a toddler from a venomous snake.
Hero Jack Russell terrier Pickle leaped in between little Vincent Hunt and a hissing 2ft adder’s fangs - suffering a potentially-fatal bite in her neck.
The snake had been disturbed by 16-month-old Vincent playing football with Pickle in his grandparents’ garden in Bordon, Hants. As it reared up angrily Vincent froze in terror - but 11-year-old Pickle’s intervention gave gran Liz Hunt time to snatch him out of the way.
Liz, 60, said: “Pickle is a real hero. She is getting old and can barely see but she showed she’s still got it where it counts.”
Pickle is now making a full recovery from the bite after emergency treatment.
