Tyson Pharo found a rattlesnake two days ago just outside his house. He ran to get his 410 revolver (The Judge) out of his Jeep. When he returned, the snake was crawling into the doghouse which is on the sidewalk next to the backdoor of his house. Missy, the dog, was in the doghouse.
The arrow shows where the 410 shotgun pellets hit the doghouse. The snake was 2.5 to 3 feet long, and had seven buttons on its rattle. It was not a huge snake, but it was plenty big enough to cause great concern.
