Running with Snakes

My headline sounds a little like the book title "Running with Scissors" though mine isn't about something in your hand, it's about what's crawling on the trail or in the bushes while you are running the trails or forests.

My friend Sherry Rogers runs with Annie, an adorable mixed-breed dog she adopted from Memphis Animal Services. (See, you don't have to get a pure-bred puppy whose ancestors were runners. Just get yourself a healthy little-mixed breed and have fun."

She and Annie run at least three times a week in the outback of the dog park at Shelby Farms and other trails. 

She wants to know what she should carry with her if she's running on the trails with Annie in case of a snakebite. She worries about it on the trails because Annie would probably stick her nose on the snake before Sherry realized what was happening. 
So, do any of you have advice on how to handle running with your dogs and dealing with snakes along the way? Has your dog ever been bitten by a snake while running or otherwise? I won't discriminate on the circumstance of the bite. Just interested in how you handled it. For seasoned runners, is there any training you give your dog or any you've taught yourself to handle the snakey season? Also, do you carry anything with you in case you or your dog encounter a snake?   Any advice would be great. Please leave a comment here or send me an email and I'll post it.
