[quote]A cat has been hailed as a hero after saving a four-year-old boy from a dog attack in California. Surveillance footage posted on YouTube shows the moment the fearless moggy comes to the toddler's rescue after a neighbour's dog attacked him in their driveway in Southwest Bakersfield. The attack on four-year-old Jeremy Triantafilo was captured on video by the family's surveillance cameras and posted on YouTube on Wednesday by his father Roger. In it, the toddler is shown playing on his tricycle in the family driveway, when the dog runs at him and grabs his leg with his teeth. Within seconds, the tabby cat, named Tara, bolts to his owner's rescue and chases the dog away. Jeremy's mother Erica, who was also bitten, is seen chasing the dog away. In an interview with 23 ABC News, she said: "He was just playing outside and I was watering the plants. Next thing I know the dog was just there and it was shaking him. "Before I could even get there, my cat clobbered him. She saved the day, chased him away and then came back to him after the dog was gone. "It was truly amazing, she's my hero." By Thursday, the video had amassed more than four million views and has been featured on news websites worldwide. Following the attack, Jeremy was taken to hospital where he had 10-stitches to his leg. According to reports, neighbours voluntarily quarantined their dog after the attack. Police in California said the dog would be quarantined for 10 days and then put down.[/quote] Thoughts?
