A dog owner who thought her puppy was going to die after he was bitten in the face by an adder snake has issued a warning to walkers.
Labrador cross Rocco was out on a walk near Guisborough when he was bitten by the snake and quickly became floppy and unresponsive, the Mirror reports. As the 16-week-old puppy's face began to swell, he was rushed to the vet to be injected with anti-venom and pain relief.
Owner Hollie Serginson, from Lingdale, feared she was going to lose him on the 45-minute drive to receive emergency treatment.
