looks like the cat was stalking the child and the dog foiled his plans so cat decided to go at the dog like a line backer
Cat saves boy from being mauled by dog

- Start date
late night news said the dog will be put down.
previous reports said it was being held for observation. probably mandatory to verify no rabies, so guessing euthanasia after that is done.

Some good skate spots up there haha awesome part is the local skaters usually take off all of the skatestoppers on ledges and rails so it was easier to find a good spot, I used to skate all night back in the day (like 16-18) everywhere. We would take a bus up to the city center and just explore looking for good spots. My buddy also lived closer to the city then me, he didn't live in the projects but cutting through them was also the fastest way back to his house so we found ourselves there a lot. I got the nickname paddlefoot by the skaters around there because I have insanely flat feet haha. Long as your friendly your good in most cases, by 18 we knew pretty much all the guys who'd be outside on the route home. Some close calls with random crack heads, a skateboard is a pretty good self defense tool though, truck slaps are brutal (the trucks being the metal part on bottom).
Back on topic, krich got me all nostalgic for a minute, the dog could have been bloated and appeared fat, I just watched the video I didn't research into details. That's totally on the owner, its sad but dogs die constantly due to bad ownership. Although some dogs are truly just messed up from inbreeding and such. Perfect example although not horrible, my friend moved back from north Carolina not too long ago and about a year before she left NC she was gifted a "hog dog" puppy. This thing is gorgeous, it has bull terrier, pit bull, and Australian shepherd as its lineage. She BABIES the thing still, and everyone tells her she needs to harden up and properly deal with him. He gets aggressive if he gets cornered and will just growl and tense up, you can't take his food without getting snapped at, is not good with stranger guys or other large dogs.. Or with too large or brightly colored cars going by.. I'm trying to help her and so is her father but he was raised like that and she never corrected it. He is great with kids though, even random strangers kids. So hoping for the help to kick in
Pops, if I had my kid outside who is that young that close to the street I wouldn't let him out of my sight let alone give an ample amount of time for a dog to saunter on up and take a nibble. I would have sprinted to get in the way and punted that thing. Growing up I was always told never let your children or the children your babysitting play in the front yard without your eyes on them. My ex was almost kidnapped like that bit her dad was watching from a window and came out with a bat

In didn't notice the mother in the vid. Not sure why you think its scary that I have a kid. When my kids are outside any where near the street I am literally right next to them, things happen in a blink of an eye with kids not sure if you have any (probably not judging by how you took my comment )

I was mostly joking with my post but thank you for answering the question.I enjoy reading your posts,you have some interesting back stories.
Hello; A short while back there was a news story about a toddler that wandered off. He was found some hours later with the family dog laying with him and sheltering the child. The dog was credited with keeping the child warm and potentially saving the childs life. People, including myself, were giving that dog kudos for deciding to follow the child and doing what it could to be protective. I give that dog the credit for what it did, not the dogs owner.
Back to the video in this thread. I feel one of the things that is of interest is the behavior of the cat. The cat made a decision not in keeping with my understanding of and experience with cats over six decades. I give that cat credit for making a choice to come to the defense of it's family kid.
It seems that there are a few who have decided to defend dogs no matter what he dog does. I fear this may backfire over time. If it should become common practice to give all vicious dog a free pass with the "it's the owners fault" ploy, then many may decide to take out any loose dog that wanders onto their property.
The owners responsibility aside, the dog in the video is vicious and made a decision on iy's own.

I never knew cats could be protective like that. My neighbor has one and all it does is sleep. Lol it even bites and tries to scratch him all the time, not always the nicest or most patient animals but the cat in the video deserves some respect.

Saw this, and all I could say is. If that was my kid.... That would be one dead dog on street.

Well of course the dog was vicious as it would almost have to be in order for it to run down and attack a small child.The dog acted on its own and will most likely pay dearly for doing so...and so will the owner.I haven't seen any post made to the effect of someone defending the dog but you seem to want someone to do so as you keep mentioning it.You've even predicted it in your post but no one has defended the dog.
I figured haha Thank you though I like to get myself into interesting situations lol life's too boring to not. Random but it was fun, raised a mast on a 50 foot catamaran today haha
I'd get armor for my cat if it ever did that, that's a thing really haha so if it happens again it'll just beast it. That is a pretty big cat though, or just really fluffy, kinda looks like a Maine coons mix.
