Cat saves boy from dog attack

[Karen]

What a brave kitty, and we are glad mom and boy and kitty made it safely back inside! How strange the dog attacked like that, but what a great kitty to run over and defend her boy!

Like Karen said, I do think it is so odd how that dog attacked. Good thing the kitty sprung into action so quickly and everyone is okay! I hope that cat was rewarded with the finest feast that night.

Someone get that cat a big can of tuna!!

I can't find the link now, but another article about the same attack said that the dog got out of his fenced yard when the owner opened the gate to pull out of his driveway. The dog's owner called 911, and voluntarily handed his dog over to authorities for observation. I'll keep looking for the other article..

That cat wins!! Very strange how that dog attacked like that, poor little boy - but awesome cat Tara saved the day! She was out there like a bolt of lightening!!!

There is another story with an interview with Tara and her boy if you look at the links on the page. Neither boy nor Tara is overly impressed with the television camera or reporter.

All Tara needs is tiny blue tights and a cape...Supercat!

Here's a good interview with the boy's parents about what happened. The cat Tara had been with the family since the boy
was a baby. ( followed the family home one day) Tara clearly thinks of the boy as "her boy".

That's one brave kitty and extremely quick! Hope he/she will get some yummy treats.

The poor boy must have terrified. So glad nothing happened.
