Cat Rescues Boy From Dog Attack - LikeaBoss!

[TXSTYLE]

Love cats! Unfortunately... I'm severely allergic!
This is amazing!!!

I'm not a big fan of cats but that was pretty damn cool! That was a bit hard to watch though

[Myrder]

Dog went straight into attack mode...that was crazy to watch. Not a cat fan but good for that little guy ninja flying to protect the kid.

[2011CrazE89]

I'm guessing that dog is now in doggie heaven.......... Or hell

[KingOfJericho]

The dog was surrendered and is slated to be put down this week. It is a lab/chow mix.

Saw that! Not a cat person but props to that kitty for saving the kid...

wow

We had a rabbit that doubled as a baby alarm for years. Every time someone woke up, she ran into our bedroom and scratched us till one of us got up. No one needed to cry, since us parents were up in seconds and running to the nursery. When the kid was sleeping outside (Scandinavian thing, you wouldn't understand), the rabbit had to go with the kid.

Some animals have a great sense of the pact they live in, but one has to give it out to that cat. Many humans would have just ran from that situation.

btw, why are there so many cameras in that yard?

Pretty standard for many home security systems in more urban areas. We have six cameras around our house, two each in the front and back along with two covering the sides of the house. Have never actually used the footage for anything but they are there for everything from identifying criminals to having video evidence in case of some liability issue. Yard man claims an injury while working on my property and I have video showing the incident...

That is the most American thing I have ever read.

In my country, we just don't sue.

Yep, Murica! Sad but true I'm afraid. For example, we have some of the highest auto insurance rates in the country. While part of it is due to poor drivers, the biggest issue is liability. We are a law suit happy state/country...

And of course most countries have much stricter limits on lawsuits. Those limits don't exist in Murica...

I'm sorry for you guys. This attitude that everything is a free lottery win is seriously messing with your humanity. I had the pleasure of someones dog knocking down tiny (kid) and the first thing the owner yelled was that an ambulance has to be called, so that her insurance company will get involved immediately. It took me 15 minutes to explain that I come from the land of sane, and an accident is an accident, and a dog knocking someone down is not a lawsuit, and her dog will not be put down because of it's long tail.

That kind of took the fun out of living here.

I heard about this on the radio on my drive into work this morning. Pretty cool stuff.


On the other hand, I woke up and my found that my girlfriends cat left a single turd in the middle of my damn living room.



Cats still suck.

Lups' location is Seattle but they don't sue in her country?

Yeah, we moved here for two years from Northern Europe. It gives me the pleasure of being mean about two continents, and explains why my English really sucks. We have been here only for four months or so, so be patient.

I hate cats so much so after watching this video I have to make up a story to tell myself that it's ok to hate this cat. I came up with two scenarios:

1. The cat believed that the child was his human to torment and his alone, so he drove off a would be challenger to the cat's beloved prize.

A more elaborate scenario:

2. The cat planted a time bomb in the child's leg. The dog realized this and was trying to save the child. The cat, realizing that the dog was about to foil his plan, thwarted the dog's attempts to save the child.

Joking aside, it breaks my heart to see a dog (or any animal really) have to be put down due to poor training and habits by their owner. Thank goodness the cat was around. I also believe it wasn't even their cat, it was the neighbors cat. I love seeing any animal (even though I don't like cats) protecting others.

Your mind works so strangely. I love it!

That dog was indeed a good example of why most people should not get pets. I have trained a lot of problem dogs, which basically means I have spend a lot of time telling the owners to shut the hell up, stop pampering, look away if they must, and act like adults. In other words, take back the control with the animal, instead of running around it acting like they were helpless infant babies who can run.

Best hobby ever, since I had the pleasure of shredding people with no need to avoid harshness, and as a reward I got to see happier dogs.

[Whostheboss]

Shhesh, thats a wild video.

Me, i can never own a pet. It's pointless. Pets are just a waste of money and time. I'd rather invest that money and time on a human (have a baby).

If i'm lonely, i have plenty of hobbies i can engage myself with rather than adopting an animal to help with my loneliness.

Just because people say they will sue or even file a suit doesn't mean they are going to win anything. Most of the crazy lawsuit stories you hear never amount to anything.

From a consumer side, the threat of lawsuit (in part) means product warranties in the US are often the best, and safety recalls are more likely in the US. It's harder to take advantage of the consumer here than elsewhere.

And no one has ever been sued in your country? Doubtful.
