Cat saves boy from dog attack

Recommended Posts

Wow, it is odd to see a cat showing any kind of protective instinct over a human, normally it's the dog that'd be protective.

 

Well done that kitty, and that dog needs putting down.

Cats are quite protective, but not normally in a physical way. I'd normally expect a cat to try and warn the dog off vocally in someway, not charge it down. Amazingly quick reaction from the cat, like he didn't even think about it.

Still prefer dogs to cats though.

I like both, would have got a dog if I didn't live in a flat. Got a cat instead, and I've had cats all my life. One thing though, ever seen or read about a cat attacking an innocent child for no reason. Cats are aloof, arrogant, fickle, and at times unhinged, but that describes all cats. Most dogs are great, loving, excitable, playful etc, but some dogs are absolute *****.

EDIT: I get the bad dogs are sometimes like that because of their owner, but it doesn't change the fact the can be like that, be it nature or nurture.

Watching the video again, I suddenly thought - after the dog has fled, surely the first thing the mother should do is pick up the child and get him to safety? It's pretty nasty watching him struggle to his feet on his own when he's clearly in a lot of pain and trauma

The person who uploaded the video edited the post, to say that the mother goes off screen to ensure that the dog has run back to it's house and to get the attention of the dog's owner, who was sat in the driveway.

 

I love dogs and I always like to hear that the situation is properly assessed before dogs are euthanised, but that is crystal clear. God knows what the owners did to train the dog to do this, that wasn't a dog just naturally playing and getting carried away, that dog saw the kid, slipped round behind him and took his leg out from underneath him. That's learned behaviour and the owner should be punished and banned from keeping animals.

If that was my dog I would have to have it put down.

 

Chased away by a cat? Should be ashamed.

Very true, there are breeds which are more hard-wired to being territorial and wary of strangers but the way the dog went about the situation it's almost certainly been brought up with a complete lack of discipline.

Theres a conspiracy that the cat was unaware the kid was in danger and just decided to take a cheap shot at the dog.

 

I do not believe this conspiracy though and will give the cat the benefit of the doubt.

 

Somebody needs to buy that cat a lifetime supply of canned tuna.

Pretty nasty. Most of the time its down to the owners and how they treat, train their animals. I hope they get a relevent punishment too.
