Family Dog Saves Children from Deadly Snake

Zena the staffordshire terrier is being hailed a hero after saving her three young Australian owners from a menacing tiger snake.

Zena the warrior dog leapt to the defence of the Schultz children Brendan 7, Jared, 6, and Sarah, 3 stopping the deadly reptile from sliding through an open screen door into the rumpus room where the children were eating their dinner at about 6.30pm on Tuesday.

The siblings' screams of terror on seeing the snake soon turned to tears and cries for help to save their pooch at their Bannockburn home.But Zena's lightning-fast reflexes snapped the snake's spine , preventing it from striking and killing the much-loved pet.

"It was terrifying," mother Patricia said. "I walked into the rumpus room to ask the kids if they wanted anything else to eat and this snake was making its way along the screen door towards the opening.

"The children saw it at the same time. I screamed, the kids screamed and Zena came from no where. She was amazing.

"She gave it one quick snap and then continued to struggle with it. It was barely moving after Zena had let go, so my husband was able to finish it off with the rake."

SCARY: Boy Steals Gun Then Shoots Neighbor's Dog for Barking

He's accused of stealing a rifle from one neighbor and then using it to shoot another neighbor's dog. And he's only eleven years old.

Spotsylvania Virginia County Sheriff's Department was called to investigate the shooting of a German Sheppard on Monday. The dog's owner told deputies he heard a gunshot and went to investigate.

He found his dog on the front porch bleeding with a wound to the neck. The home is located off a private road in a rural part of the county, and deputies say they have never responded to a complaint in that area before.

Investigators spent the day talking with other neighbors, some who say they heard the shot, while animal control officers rushed the dog to a nearby veterinarian clinic.

Later that evening, one of the neighbors who had said she had heard the gunshot, called the Sheriff's Department to report finding a rifle in her backyard.

When deputies arrived she told them she had already questioned her eleven year old son who admitted to her he shot the dog because it had been keeping him awake at night.

She lives for ten more years, and then dies. Once again, a ceremony is held, and at the end of it, the pall bearers are again carrying out the casket.
As they carry the casket towards the door, the husband cries out, 'Watch that wall!'
