Dogs Alert Owner to Mean-Looking Rattlesnake at Front Door

An Arizona man had his vigilant dogs to thank after they alerted him to the unwelcome presence of a threatening rattlesnake sitting on the welcome mat right outside his front door.

Brandon Creager told Storyful he was at home in Scottsdale when the dogs wouldn’t stop barking and behaving “as if there was someone at the door.”

“After the barking did not stop I went to see why. I saw the diamondback rattlesnake and took the video,” Creager said. Credit: Brandon Creager via Storyful
