German Shepherd Gets Bitten by Rattle Snake, Protects 7-Year-Old Girl

A German shepherd named Haus is being hailed a hero after protecting his 7-year-old owner. A rattlesnake, likely an eastern diamondback rattler, bit Haus three times Wednesday afternoon outside the DeLuca family’s Tampa, Florida home. “He had every opportunity to run but he didn’t. He was protecting Molly,” said Donya DeLuca.
