Dogs prove time and time again that they are man's best friend.

Todd, a golden retriever from Arizona, is no exception.

While on a walk with his owner, Paula Godwin, Todd spotted a rattlesnake on their path and quickly jumped between Godwin and the snake to protect her, according to reports.

Unfortunately, Todd was bit in the process.

Godwin quickly got Todd to the hospital where he was treated for the bite.

The good news is that despite some shocking photos of what happened to poor Todd's face as a result of the bite, he has made a full recovery, according to reports from Buzzfeed.

Good boy, Todd. Good boy.
