One of the world's smallest dogs showed he was big on courage when he took on a rattlesnake and saved a baby from its deadly bite.

Zoey the pet Chihuahua sprang into action when a rattler threatened one-year-old Booker West as he was playing in a birdbath at his home in Colerado.

Sensing the danger, Zoey came to the rescue and jumped between the snake and the baby, allowing Booker to 
escape unharmed.

Unfortunately brave Zoey was bitten in the process and the boy's grandfather Monty Long, alerted by the dog's yelps, came to the rescue.

The dog was rushed to a vet and for a time it was thought he might not survive.

But the story had a happy ending for the brave Zoey as well as the baby when the animal pulled through and is now running around.
