I am just reading this article where a woman has been bitten by a snake while she tried to help her dog who had also been bitten by the reptile.
This is the exact reason why Living with Wildlife set up its website. If this person had done the Online Snake Awareness course, that only takes a bit over an hour to complete (and you don't have to do it all in one go), the last thing she would have done was gone near her dog immediately after it was bitten.
If the dog had backed off after being bitten then there is a better than good chance that the snake would have also disappeared as soon as it had the chance and the lady could have then safely recovered her pet and taken it straight to the vet for treatment.
If snakes are a problem in your area, seriously consider doing the online course. It gives you a very good insight into snakes and what to do if ever you come into contact with one.
