Jenkins heard the rattlesnake and saw Tank bounce back. He grabbed a shovel and killed the snake.

Then he saw that Tank had two fang marks on the top of his nose, which was bleeding.

"It was 20 minutes to town and I knew he would not make it. So I grabbed his nose and started sucking the rattlesnake poison out of the top of his nose and spit it on the ground." Jenkins said.
