Was he euthanized with a drug cocktail? Otherwise, how could it have been humane?
I may get flamed for this, but I am more cautious around Chows than Pit Bulls. In my personal experience, there are far more of them highly aggressive than any other breed. They are territorial and tend to be one person or one family dogs.
If you ever see a Chow shaved, you may mistake them for a Pit Bull. They are shaped very similar under all that fur.
Operation Sleeping dog is working purrfectly ...Not surprised, but needed to be done.
Tara, the dog didn’t make you a hero cat, you did that yourself.
You wonder what cruelty the dog was subjected to that made it so hostile to humans.
Why not use a soft rubber basket muzzle? We had to do that with an aggressive dog and it worked well.
I wonder if it is not a general rule that those who keep savage dogs have a felony record?
Yes, it’s unfortunate, but that really was a vicious dog. A nice dog is very nice, a bad dog is terrifying. The way he went after that kid was frightening, and quite frankly I’m not sure the mother would have been able to get the better of things if the cat hadn’t been there.
Dog owners in two other cities who have seen the video believe that Hero cat resembles the same cat who got their dogs euthanized after being video taped in attacks, that they now claim the cat seems to have staged by setting up the dogs to provoke a response which could then be used as deadly evidence against them.
I still say it’s an elaborate hoax.
Hero cat? I thought the only way cats could be heroes to humans is if a human ate it to survive.
Agreed. Any dog that attacks a human in that manner should be put down.
Sad, but necessary.
When I first read this story, I figured the cat was a girl kitty, probably acting from a maternal instinct to defend her family.
Sounds like Harry Reid’s dog
As usual I am late on this, but where the heck did his mom go?! The dog got chased off by the cat which was Awesome, but good grief, he could have easily come back : o
Yikes mom - pick up the little guy and take him with you!
Plus, how did all of this get filmed from multiple angles? I hope someone won’t mind bringing me up to speed here : /
Again, YAY! for the Kitteh!
We have a dog close by who is a strike away,, nasty Lil bastard has bitten and nipped at quite a few local folk.
I wish the local wild turkeys would stomp his butt sometime.. That’d make for some good video.
The owner named the dog “Scrappy?” Now, there’s a guilty plea if ever there was one.
