Hello Ralph, it is a genuine pleasure to meet you. Oh My Goodness, What a brave thing you did by jumping between your human father and taking the snake bite yourself; you're lucky to be alive. I think that shows a huge amount of love and loyalty. In a way you repaid your humans for taking you in years ago. Not only are you brave but I think you're very cute too. I enjoyed all the photos and can see that you have a wonderful family. I hope all of you have many more happy healthy years together. Congrats on being DOTD!
