A family cat is being hailed as a hero after she saved a toddler who was being viciously attacked by a dog. The boy was riding his tricycle in the driveway of his Southwest Bakersfield home on Tuesday when he was attacked by a neighborhood mongrel.
The dog chomped down on the boy’s leg and began dragging him down the driveway. That’s when the family cat Tara lunged herself at the dog and chased it off the property.
The boy suffered puncture wounds to his right leg that required stitches. He was treated and released from a local hospital.
Surveillance video was uploaded to YouTube by the boy’s father, who titled the video “My Cat Saved My Son.”
The dog is currently under observation, most likely to determine if it has rabies.
Good job cat and here I thought y’all weren’t good for shyt but sleeping,eating,and jumping on countertops
I don’t play with dogs. I will fight one, to the death of me.
OH my God! Did she just leave the lil boy there tho?
Wow! They sneaky as hell, they should do something.
Puzee’s are making a come up this year.
Man’s friend til the end my azz.
I cant stand cats.
Poor kid.
ok, but why does the vid seem staged tho??? all those camera angles..and ur child is being attacked yet you still filming…
On another note, this is why I
cats…
That cat said not over my house
I saw another video with a cat asking for a hug and it was the cutest thing 
awwwww
ButterflyKisses says: OH my God! Did she just leave the lil boy there tho?
thank the Lord for the cat 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Right that’s what I was thinking, Why did she run off and leave the kid behind??
What if the dog would have came back.
I like cats and dogs the same
on the same level in my book… I plan to get a dog or a cat in few more years 
I’m not fond of cats. I’m just warming up to the idea of getting Lil Butter a dog.
Im thinking its their security camera
That cat said not today !!

Exactly.. My first concern would be to pick him up and get out of there..Then worry about everything else..cat included…because obviously my cat can handle his Bizness
and don’t forget lick themselves. I use to love cats, not no more. Just be looking

He wasn’t filming. If you notice the camera never moves it’s completely still. This looks like he has surveillance cameras around his house and that’s how he got the footage.
Wassup ya’ll. I’ve been at work,working hard lately.
Soooooo,why did she leave him there???? I would’ve snatched my child up in my arm and took him in the house WITH ME

The cat’s natural instinct to protect another animal kicked in when she heard the child scream in pain. Dogs can have mental problems too. Just because they can’t talk doesn’t mean they can’t be crazy. Watch your kids around older dogs. They can be senile too.
Is it me or does the boy look too big for that bike?

Yep I plan to get one when I get a house
you Lil J want one now… I just too busy for a animal in the crib…. you know it would end up being my dog or cat anyways 
so I will wait until Lil J gets in her teenage years or something before I get one
Ummm Hold on…the mom go check on her son and then run off and leave him there???
That cat said not on my watch

THAT COULDVE BEEN SOMEONE WHO SNATCHED THAT LIL BOY UP.
He was all by himself, close to the curb too. A car could jump the curb and plow into him. Anything… that’s not a proper place for him to play by himself. But, glad hes ok.

The dog look like he was protecting his territory. If you watch again, he clearly hears a noise, goes to investigate and sees the kid.
If he was really lookin to harm the kid, the cat wouldn’t have made him retreat.

My dad is Nigerian. Our people are Yuroba and speak Yoruba but there are plenty who are Christian or Muslim and sometimes other religions. So when someone asks what tribe usually it’s either Igbo, Yoruba, or Hausa. It’s generally an “ethnicity” question

The problem with Pit Bulls is not the breed its the owner – pets are like kids – if they aren’t raised properly from young they usually don’t turn out right… I say this as someone who has a deep routed fear of any dog bigger than a toy poodle….
