BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (WJLA) - The hero of the day for one Bakersfield, California family is the cat.
The cat came to their young son's rescue Tuesday when he was attacked by a neighbor's dog in the driveway of their home.
Video from the home's security camera shows the young boy on his bicycle when the dog grabs his leg from behind - and then shows Tara the cat attacking the dog, scaring it off.
The boy's mother, Erika Triantafilo, told ABC affiliate KERO in Bakersfield that her son needed a few stitches, but is doing fine.
She also said the dog belonged to a neighbor and is now under observation.
Warning: The video, provided by the family, contains material that may be sensitive to some viewers.
Note: Though originally reported as a pitbull, ABC7 News cannot confirm the breed of the dog in the video.
