Cat Saves Boy from Dog Attack

[JayJack]

No they don't.

Yes they do! If raised properly, they are the best dogs ever, and I wouldn't want anything else! I currently have a pit that I got when he was 3 years old. I haven't had any problems with him at all, and he loves and protects my wife I as if he was with us from a pup. Some of the best dogs anybody can ever have is a Pit, and I stand by that.

I would also like to note that the dog in this video is not a Pitt.

That gets lost in all this hype for the cat.

No one is calling for genicide on that dogs entire breed.

No the dog in the video I can't identify. It should be destroyed.

Pit Bulls have earned there reputation, sorry.

Lol go ahead and be stubborn when everyone else in this thread has agreed and stated reasons why your statement is wrong.

Yeah I noticed that as well.....it's a shame the bad rep pits get. Even after Michael Vicks abuse on the dogs, they were still able to find homes for some of them, which is very good!

I'm not a cat fan at all, but it was cool seeing how fearless that cat was. Glad the little boy is ok.

[CanDB]

This was so cool! As a huge cat lover I hope this will give cats some respect now

So you like 'em big???




In this case, the cat used every ounce of it's body to bash the dog away. This is one of those ultimate videos that make me feel good......similar to seeing some animals in the jungle defend their young from an angry mob of hungry aggressors.

Still not sure how that dog got so violent!

I'm not sure why he got so violent. At first he just seemed like a happy wondering puppy.

When he first saw the boy he perked up like he wanted to go play. Then when he came around the car and in view he just snapped and ran right at him.

The second portion was like the dog was hunting prey. But if that's the case it just seems like the dog would've been barking or snapped at some other creature sooner.

Maybe you have a decent Pit Bull and maybe you just have a time bomb. If you look at statistics Pit Bulls are the leading breed for deaths by dog attacks. That is according to the CDC.

There are decent Pit Bulls and there are others. There reputation is earned.

I wonder how much of that is due to inexperienced owners not taking the time to properly train their dog?

I ask because of this;

•Unless, otherwise pit bulls are trained to attack humans or trained non properly they won’t harm human. In fact, these dedicated companions love people more than anything.
•86.8% of the American Pit Bull Terriers have passed their temperament tests.
•No matter what the task is, when pit bulls are committed to any task, they will carry out it with full enthusiasm. It’s this nature of pit bulls that make us think like they have locking Jaws especially when they bite on something and refuse to release it that easily.
•Pitbulls are widely known for the illegal sport of dog fighting.

I'm a huge cat lover too. This should give our feline friends more street cred! Way to go kitty.

Amen. The best dog I have ever owned was a pure pitty. I raised my child around her and not one minute was there ever a scare. My new dog is a lab pitty cross and is dopey and loveable as anything.

There are very poor dog owners, sadly they are attracted to breeds like Pittys/Rottys/Dobermans and that is a huge detriment to the breeds.

Look up any list of top family dogs....Pitty makes every one.

I think a lot of the problems with Pit Bulls is the owners, but that is probably the case with most aggressive dogs. Unfortunately, training or lack thereof isn't always the reason for an aggressive animal. Some of these animals and Pit Bulls come to mind are deliberately taught to be aggressive.

But that's no fault of the Pitt Bull bread. That's owners faults. And in those cases yes they are an extremely dangerous breed.

But if loved for and cared for by responsible owners they can be fantastic dogs to own.

I have three dogs. Since my 20 month old son was born my 15 pound corgi/Yorki mix is the most terrified of him and wants nothing to do with him. He isn't aggressive but he is not a child loving dog.

My 75 pound purebread Lab is similar. She doesn't want anything to do with my son though she isn't nearly as scared of him. She would just assume be left alone. Again not aggressive but not as fond of children as you would expect from a lab.

But it's my Pitt/lab mix that is far and away the most loving and protective of my son. It took him a little while to warm up to him but it didn't take long for him to be protective. He has not bit anyone but he constantly gets in between my dad and sister and my son just to make sure they aren't up to anything suspicious. Once they were around more often he warmed up to them and understands they are family and welcome around my son.

But as far as actually with my son he just lays around and let's my son hang all over him. He just takes it. And he always has to be around my son and wants to go out front to lay in the yard while he plays outside.

I trust him 110% with my son and other children. Which he also has a history of being obsessed with other children that have come around.

Tara the cat should have her own Superhero series

And I'm with Canmore, very wary of Pit Bulls.

JayJack, eb, EddieMac and Blood I agree with.

Canmore, not so much.

The American Pit Bull Terrier has a bad rap.

Most people can't even identify one.
Instead, aggression by dozens of other breeds are often blamed on them.
In fact, many folks and news outlets mislead the public by indiscriminately calling agggressive dogs "Pit Bulls".

See if you can ID the American Pit Bull Terrier.
Take the test:

"Pick the Pit"
