My 2 year old Bully died unexpectedly. He was playing in the backyard. My mom saw him around 11am and by noon when she went outside to fill up his bucket of water he was dead. He was hard as a rock and he had pooped himself. Anyone has had a similar experience? I thought maybe a snake bit him, but he had no bite marks.

You have my most deepest and heartfelt condolences on your loss. So sad.
Just like with humans, you may never know what happened. Sometimes they have congenital health issues, sometimes it is something they ate, sometimes it is intestine turn (where their intestines turn and that can cause sudden death), sometimes they have a massive stroke or heart attack, and sometimes it is just their time for no reason whatsoever. Sadly this happens at any age.
That the pup was outside, it could have also been something like a bee. We have a friend whose dog is highly allergic to stings so they have to be so careful. It is so hard but you may have to find peace in that you may not know the cause and that is very hard.
It is very normal when the pass to have a spontaneous bowel movement so that is not an indication of any one reason for passing. It just happens.
If you need help with managing your grief over your loss, I strongly encourage you to seek help! Losing a pet is terrible and grief can be overwhelming. Contact your local pet rescue or even a human funeral home to see if you can find a support group.
May your pup's memory always be a blessing to you!
Sometimes the only way to know what happened is to have an autopsy done on the dog. So sorry to hear. It is sad to lose a pet.
I am so sorry. What a shock for you. There are many possibilities and often impossible to know what happened. You can talk to your Vet but it is really tough to figure out what really happened.
