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.
Eventually, the toddler throws the stick and the dog diligently goes to fetch it.
Then this happens...

Did you notice how the man rushed to the child when he realised what he had picked up?
It was extremely scary to even think about what could've happened to the child if the man did not act fast. Many people hit the comments section saying, "It's just a rat snake!".
Apparently, rat snakes are the most common pet snakes, but that's not a good enough reason to keep us calm.
