It would be better if it was a pit saving the kid, Just like how they were made to do. One of the few good cats though.

What the hell......this is bullshit.

Where's all the outrage, where's Rufus Sharpton!!!?????

Clearly this attack was provoked by the Cat.

The Dog had a ruff life previous to this incident and was clearly mis-understood. And now I hear the Dog has been euthanized?????

What about punishment for the Cat. Were his claws legally registered and did he have a permit to carry. Did he confront the Dog before he ATTACKED?

NO! The Damn Cat flew in and maliciously attacked the Dog. He viciously attacked this poor mis-guided Dog without provocation. And that attack resulted in the demise of the poor Dog that was just turning his life around........Oh! the humanity, what will be next ........full on slaughter of all dogs????

The Cat was clearly a canine racist profiler.

All Cat claws should be confiscated and extensive background checks should be performed before even one Cat is allowed claws. Even then they should be registered with the state.

I should have known that all the previous posts were going to be Cat. You guys call this thread un-biased????

HA!!

You guys are all clearly canine racists.

You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Poor Dog.

Not sure if this is sarcasm or stupidity.

From a recent CDC study:
"There were approximately 238 dog bite-related fatalities over the past 20 years. Approximately 25 breeds of dogs were involved in theses deaths; pit bulls and rottweilers were involved in over half of the reported deaths."

Pretty much every study done in the last 20 years shows that you are more likely to receive a serious bite from a pit bull ( The term pit bull is a generic term used to describe dogs with similar physical characteristics - such as a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Bull Terrier, or any mix thereof) than any other breed.

keep in mind the previous message came from someone named Angry Fat Cat...

Hello Folks.
As far as the mom running into the house right away and not going all protective momma bear.... that really threw me off as well. It seems to me she ran for a phone to call 911... Sheeple are soooo trained to call 911, and not deal with the problems themselves right in front of them. ( of course, this is conjecture, but likely. ) My ex and I have issues from time to time, but I have no doubt she would go ballistic and defend my child to her fullest extent, and NOT leave my little one tangled up in a bike after an attack like this. I know Cameras don't show everything, but thats just an instant gut feeling on it. Brian P.S. Fucking awesome cat.

I had wondered if she was running off camera to go after the dog (the video I initially watched didn't show her going into the house, just running off camera).

Yah, I don't get Mum running away instead of charging the dog herself. The dog is now in quarantine and will be euthanised after his ten days is up. http://edition.cnn.com/2014/05/15/opini ... og-attack/

You realize this kind of thing has been levied against other breeds, right? Dobermans, German Shepards, rottweilers. These have all been labeled as "vicious" breeds at some point or another and demonized. Simple truth is: Dogs respond to their owners. If the owner is abusive and cruel, the dog will learn to be the same. If the owner trains their dog to attack and harm, the dog will respond. If the owner raises the dog well and treats him/her right, the dog will become a well adjusted animal and in all likelihood never cause intentional harm to anyone. My pit bull plays with a 4 year old child regularly, and not once have I even been concerned that he might harm Bran.

That's the end of my thread-jacking here. KUDOS TO THE KITTY

Cat was saying.... "nobody gets to damage the kid BUT ME. He's MY chewtoy and I don't share".

Whoa . . . badass cat.



I didn't really see it that way.

I saw:
- Puff of smoke, looks like mom was just off camera having a ciggie when the dog attacked.
- Mom runs over, checks to make sure the kid is OK (relatively).
- Mom runs around the front of the truck . . . to look for the dog, I think?
- Mom walks back and finishes her cigarette.

OK, I'm just speculating on that last part....

That was my take on it as well, that she was checking to see if the threat was truly over, or if the dog was just coming around for another go. I think that would be my reaction as well. If the kid's not seriously inured (sure he got a few scratches and bruises from falling like that), check to see if the threat is actually past, or if you need to prepare to fight off a second attack.
