DUNWOODY, Ga. — When people refer to you as “snake-bitten,” it means you’ve got bad luck.
So, in the case of Buddy the German Shepherd, it stands to reason that he has really bad luck.
The 7-year-old dog from Dunwoody was bitten twice in two days by a Copperhead snake in his owner’s backyard.
Jones took Buddy to the vet and the dog was put on antibiotics.
"He came running back in about five minutes and he had blood on his face," Rusty Jones told Channel 2's Mike Petchenik. "You could see his face was swelling and there was just blood that got the attention."
“It scared me,” said Jones. "I didn’t know what to think.”
Two days later, Buddy was playing in the backyard when Jones heard him yelp in pain.
“He’s been bitten again,” Jones said. “He’s a strong animal but it’s brought him down a little bit.”
