I first saw the video on CNN, so I was spared the usual horrible Youtube comments, and got to see the shots of Tara the cat laying next to the kid later looking like "Nobody bites or scratches my humans except for me!"

Also, this cat owns. I think a lot of people underestimate how loving and protective kittehs are.

Re: Cat saving boy from dog attack video
If I remember the story correctly he got out of the backyard without them knowing. At least that's what I heard. I saw it on the news last night. They did euthanize the dog, which sadly, is policy for any aggressive dog. I do think if you know your dog has problems like that then you should be responsible and not live in a family community. The dog was aggressive and attacked unprovoked. Nobody can deny that.Wain wrote:Chows and chow mixes are known for aggressive traits, but to me this one looks like an ignorant pup. The most angering thing for me was the owners who were quoted as saying that it hated children and bicycles... yet apparently they let it out. I hope the owners are going to be charged.
Also cats are amazing. They quoted the little boy as saying Tora was his hero and showed a very content and I'm sure especially spoiled cat.

Re: Cat saving boy from dog attack video
I've been 'bitten by an ignorant puppy' before and not ended up with three inch gashes in my arm. In this case, I think it was the right choice. Especially since untraining a dog that has such aggression issues is a lot of focused hard work, and that the owners of said dog are obviously unwilling to do so (given their apparent negligence of the animal up until now); the dog could rightfully be expected to grow up and continue to be dangerously aggressive.
someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket

Re: Cat saving boy from dog attack video
From what I read, people had had problems with that dog before. And rabies is not a disease you want to play around with or chance (There's been what? 3-4 survivors and it was likely they were bat bite victims vs a dog bite, so a milder strain may have been at hand). Although, I imagine it wasn't just wanting to examine the dog. The blame lies on the owners. It is unfortunate the dog was put down, but if it was being treated as the stories say - odds are, if not this kid, then another.Bulletdance wrote:I was happy to see this story. Our family cat, Patches saved me once from something running at me it was either a really big spider or a mouse. It was moving too fast for me to see,but she jumped between us and smacked that thing. I grabbed her and ran out of the basement. Sad to hear that the dog was put down, but there was probably no other option.

Re: Cat saving boy from dog attack video
According to the news report I saw, the dog got out of the back yard via a gate that had been left open. Still, the first thing it apparently did was to head over and go after the kid.Glain wrote:If I remember the story correctly he got out of the backyard without them knowing.

Another report said that Tara had 'adopted the humans' 5 years ago, following them home from a fair. That could also explain her going after the dog. The huge tomcat I once had had spent the first few years of his life as a stray and he would actively try to attack any dog that came near him.

Re: Cat saving boy from dog attack video
I'm sorry for the family that lost their dog, as well as that poor kid. Unfortunately some dogs are just too violent and they're really too much of a risk. :-/

Re: Cat saving boy from dog attack video
But regardless of the fact that it "should have" or "could have" been raised better, it still attacked a child completely unprovoked. I do feel it should be put down at this point. Like I said, it's sad, but it would have been tons more sad if the child had been fatally injured. In my opinion, a human's life always comes before an animal's. (Not that I'm saying animals should be abused or hurt, please don't take it that way.)
