Rocky, my lab mix, was bit on the nose by a snake once. Fortunately we don't have venomous snakes here (except water mocs); it was a rat snake. He looks dumb as a rock (ha) but he's actually pretty smart. So I don't think he'll be doing that again.
Rat snakes, apparently, do sometimes behave like rattlesnakes -- that is, they use their tail as a rattle, shaking it against a leaf or other crackly thing to make the rattle sound. Therefore, my dear hubby truly thought our dog had been bit by a rattlesnake and it took a lot of convincing on my part to prove otherwise! Whew!
