its funny how dogs have an innate sense of danger aroudn snakes- was traveling along a road one day, and there was a freshly killed rattler on the road- i stopped- opened the door to take a look, and my pup saw the snake and started growling- even at a young age she knew danger when she saw it it seems

Could have had a mongoose for a pet along with the dog.

The dog to alert the owner and the mongoose to go after the snake.
