Supercat

We all know the phrase "Man's best friend" -- which refers to a dog.

Well this story will change the meaning of that phrase! The footage is from the security cameras around a house in California.

Imagine the poor boy and how traumatic it would have been for him!

Here is an excerpt from The Irish Times:

“Thankfully, it wasn’t worse,” his father, Roger Triantafilo, wrote in posting the video. “My son is fine.”

It is understood the boy received a number of stitches.

Bakersfield police said the attacking dog, identified as an 8-month-old Labrador-Chow mix, had been surrendered by its owner’s family after the attack and was in quarantine and would be put down.

Police spokesman Sergeant Joseph Grubbs said the dog’s owners, who live in the same neighbourhood as the boy, said the dog did not like children or bicycles.

He did not identify the owner by name.

Hands down, the Award for Cat of the Year goes to the cat in this video!
