A DOG that leapt between a three-year-old boy and a highly venomous brown snake has been honoured by the RSPCA. Diesel, a cattle dog-dingo cross, was today hailed as a hero and received a big bone for saving a Sunshine Coast couple's grandson from being bitten by the snake.
Drew Gralike was playing on a swing last month at his grandfather's Eumundi property when the snake appeared.

Drew's grandfather, Stan Gralike, told ABC Radio that the snake was about to strike when Diesel intervened.

My Maine Coon cat did herd some escaped chicks back from the road once, without eating even one.
We had a Jack Russel Terrier do a really remarkable thing. My husband was working in the back room when he heard Bobo bark. A JRT barking was not very unusual but he came to where my husband was and kept going back into the other room barking the whole time. A floor electric plug had shorted out and was shooting sparks up under the couch and was about to set it on fire. Good boy Bobo!
You see the small white patch on the top of his head? It means he is directly related to the original first Australian Cattle Dog aka Blue Heeler.
I’ve got a Half Blue Heeler Half Cocker Spaniel.
Blue Heelers are wonderful working dogs and pets. Good dog, for sure.
Good Dog Ping...
And my dog thinks he’s a hero for saving me from a box turtle. Gotta get me one of them dingo mixes.
Elaine, sitting on the couch
near a pretentious woman.
Woman: I wonder what happened to my fiancé. I know he's here somewhere.
Ellen? Have you seen my fiancé?
Ellen: He's upstairs.
Woman: Are you going upstairs? Tell my fiancé I'm looking for him. I have
lost my fiancé, the poor baby.
Elaine: Maybe the dingo ate your baby.
Woman: What?
Elaine: The dingo ate your baby!
That pup is worth his feed without any doubt in my book.
Damn good dog!
Haaa Haaa
Your Dad used to say, “Don’t eat that Elmer. Son, that’s horse sh!t”
I never did know why he called you Elmer.
My sister had a Bagel named Elmer...
Dingo crosses can be pains in the ass.
I have two. I love them, but damn they test me....
My sister had a moose named Elmer.
Y’all know the rest of the story.
Larson is the best!
