Info from Licensor: "This is Gracie and Gator from Booneville, Arkansas. They came across this Chicken Snake in my pasture. Both Dachshunds have been bitten several times by different types of snakes. Gator has been bitten 3 times by Copperheads on his nose. The local vet knows him very well. Gator grabs another chicken snake and after shaking him vigorously, he ruptured a disk in his back and was paralyzed in his back the next day. He was rushed to the Tulsa, Oklahoma veterinary hospital where he underwent back surgery. Gator is in great shape today and doesn't miss a meal. Gracie and Gator are Dachshunds that live up to the breed standards for hunting."
