In what started as a cute video, we see a toddler being led by his guardian playing fetch with the dog.
The man who is videoing tells the toddler to throw the stick that he has in his hand so the dog can fetch it.

Apparently, rat snakes are the most common pet snakes, but that's not a good enough reason to keep us calm.
