BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — A family’s cat came to the rescue of a 4-year-old boy that was being attacked by a neighbor’s dog.  The incident happened Tuesday in southwest Bakersfield, Calif.
 
A 4-year-old boy was riding his bike in front of his home when the neighbor’s dog started attacking him. The boy’s mother, Erica Triantafilo, was outside at the time.   Within seconds, the Triantafilo’s cat jumped on the dog to get it off the boy. The cat then chased away the dog.  The boy was taken to a local hospital where he received 10 stitches. He is now at home recovering, according to KGET.
 
“My cat defends my son during a vicious dog attack and runs the dog off before he can do additional damage. Thankfully, my son is fine!” the boy’s father, Roger Triantafilo, wrote in the YouTube video description.
