Cat saves boy and teaches us all a lesson

Re the four-year-old Californian boy rescued by his cat from a dog attack this week.

The boy was on his own playing on his small bicycle, peddling up his driveway off the sunny street, when an opportunistic dog came around a parked car and pounced, pulling the boy off his bike.

Then, a big, grey, dark-striped tortoiseshell cat ran out, rammed the dog and chased him away and ran back to the boy and the boy’s mother, who had come out when she heard the noise.
