Cocker Spaniel Elsa fell poorly after being bitten by an adder while walking at a reservoir.
A mountain rescue team came to the aid of one of its leader's dogs which had been bitten by a snake while on a walk.
Mrs Hammond was unable to get a phone signal to call husband Derek, who volunteers with the Upper Wharfedale Rescue Association , so dialled 999. Mr Hammond, a mountain rescue volunteer for 22 years, said: "Elsa saw this snake on the path and Elsa, being a spaniel, must have thought 'oh, what's this' and of course went up to see.Mr Hammond said as Elsa carried on walking she became unwell and needed carrying, which his wife was unable to do."She knew there'd be a chance that the police would be able to ask mountain rescue to come out.
