Marley, a seven-year-old Labrador retriever, ended up saving his owner’s life by interfering during a rattlesnake incident…

A courageous Labrador Retriever defended his owner from a rattlesnake bite.

At the same time, the dog was in pain because the snake bit him.

The Labrador’s 18-year-old owner was terrified he would lose his best pal.

Alex Loredo describes how the pup Marley saved his life.

The guy stepped outside into the courtyard of his San Diego home.

The man proceeded to the washing room, which is detached from the rest of the house.

And then he heard a rattling under the table outside. A rattlesnake was poised to strike.

“It was incredibly loud,” Alex states.

But he had little time to think because the Labrador Retriever bolted from the house and stood between his owner and the snake.

“My heart simply fell. “My initial thought was, “Oh terrible, I’m going to lose my best friend,” says the man.

Marley was bitten twice by the rattlesnake: once on the tongue and once on the neck.

Alex and his mom rushed the dog to the clinic.

The owners had given up hope that the cat would survive.

Marley was really fortunate: after three doses of antidote and two days in the hospital, he was able to come home.

The puppy is almost back to usual after two weeks and is playing again, though he still requires some medication.
