Family Cat Saves Boy From Dog Attack

[Boreas]

Some of you have probably seen this. It's gone a bit viralish on the intertubes but I think it deserves a second closer look. Watch what this cat does. Watch it in detail. There is no doubt whatsoever that its purpose was to protect the boy.

First, the cat intervenes. It furiously throws itself at the dog, stopping the attack on the boy and then drives the dog away [i]but not before looking back to the boy to make sure he's okay. After chasing the dog away, the cat returns to the boy and accompanies him and his mother back indoors.

I'm definitely a dog person so this whole thing, bad dog, good cat, runs contrary to my prejudices but that's one hell of a cat!
