Family cat saves boy from dog's attack

Thought I was watching a snippet from "POI"

I'm sure it wasn't staged because the little boy had a nasty wound. Also, as someone said, its hard to train cats.

I just became aware of this

Nice little thrill for Tara...and it shows...but I'll bet it doesn't even come close to the time she threw out the first pitch at that minor league baseball game.

And yes I realize my headline says daves boy but I can live with my midtakes

I LOVE Tara! Admittedly her pitch didn't go very far, but still..
I saw this on the news last year and I could swear that her paws never touched the ground, she was running so fast.
OK. Is it weird to anyone how the mother checks her son, stands up, and runs into the house, forcing the boy to push the bike away, stand up, and run to follow her!?! Wouldn't one, I don't know.. PICK HIM UP AND CARRY HIM INSIDE!?!

In L.A. picking up your kid following a wild animal attack would be considered helicopter parenting, She was just teaching him resilience.

I remember wondering about that at the time this event was first broadcast. I would assume that picking him up and running with him in one's arms would be instinctive. But who knows how far one's normal judgment is scrambled with the surge of adrenalin that that mother was surely experiencing?
