My dogs seem to ignore snakes, although I have seen other dogs who
react
strongly to them. The dogs and I nearly stepped on a young copperhead
once
before I realised it and hopped on one foot

It was probably just a corn snake and you imagined it to be a Copperhead,
since it makes for a more interesting story. grin ...
