Great story but made me cry. Thank you for sharing. I love stories about GSDs loyalty and love.

You did not die in vain Rugar, you'll always be remembered.... Feel terribly sad for both of them.

Hope that the Hindsruhe lineage continues, no doubt about it.

*tears* What a brave boy defending his master in true GSD fashion.

Rest in peace sweet boy

All of the trophies and ribbons Rugar earned pale in the shadow of the last thing he did for the human he loved. And this action came from his heart, no amount of training taught him that. Great job Rugar! Until you meet again with the human you love, run free!

Good story but super sad.

Quick question though. Why did the dog die? Wasn't there a thread recently that said dogs can take a Rattle snake bite and survive? I think it included pics of a few shepherds with swollen noses etc. Does it depend on the location of the bite, or the severity (amount of venom)?
