Het geweldige leven in Zwolle

Het is knus onder de Peperbus

Klein maar dapper

MASONVILLE, Colo. -- Zoey is a Chihuahua, but when a rattlesnake lunged at her owners' 1-year-old grandson, she was a real bulldog.

Booker West was splashing his hands in a birdbath in his grandparents' northern Colorado back yard when the snake slithered up to the toddler, rattled and struck. Five-pound Zoey jumped in the way and took the bites.

"She got in between Booker and the snake, and that's when I heard her yipe," Monty Long, the boy's grandfather, said Thursday.

The dog required treatment and for a time it appeared she might not survive the bites she suffered earlier this month. Now she prances about.

"These little bitty dogs, they just don't really get credit," Booker's grandma Denise Long told the Loveland Daily Reporter-Herald.

toch leuk dat kleine hondjes 'yipe', ipv 'bark'. Is dat nu het Nederlandse keffen?

Volgens Babelfish is 'to yap' de Engelse vertaling van 'keffen'. Waarschijnlijk wel dus.
