While playing in their Tampa home’s backyard, Haus and Molly were surprised by a venomous snake that appeared suddenly and headed toward Molly. Haus acted quickly and placed himself between his sister and the snake. He protected her several times and got bitten by the snake multiple times.
While Haus was exhibiting concerning behavior, Molly’s grandma stepped into the yard and saw what was happening. She soon realized that Haus was actually attempting to protect Molly from a dangerous snake. Despite her attempts to intervene, Haus persisted in attacking the snake until he was exhausted.

Haus was rushed to the hospital in a critical state. He was bleeding profusely and the venom was spreading across his veins at an alarming rate. The staff got worried as the usual anti-venom dose didn’t work on him. They eventually applied the orthodox treatment of using a constant anti-venom drip to salvage the 68-lb dog’s failing organs.
