On 29 June, Paula Godwin set out for a morning hike with her two dogs, Todd and Copper. Little did she know that Todd, her golden retriever, would save her from a rattlesnake.

Narrating the incident on Facebook, Paula said that as she was out with her dogs on a hike, she almost stepped on a rattlesnake – and that her brave dog, Todd, leaped forward to save her human from being bitten.

My hero of a puppy Todd saved me, he jumped right in front of my leg were I surely would have got bit.

Her post went viral across social media platforms and netizens hailed the little pupper for his utmost bravery and prayed for his speedy recovery.
