Kinda weird that the Mom just ran away after checking on him.

(Also don't turn this into a dog vs. cats as pets debate)

Ran to get help, perhaps? Kinda weird that the boy was up on his feet immediately after, actually. Anyway, hero cat.

Yeah saw this earlier today. Awesome stuff.

I think what the camera didn't show was that the mom went around truck to yell at dog/chase it home. Boy then took opportunity to run in side.

Really good the cat was there (and mom) so that it was over before it could be worse than just some stitches.

Damn...

Pretty crazy video right there. Good thing the kid is okay. 

Cats > Dogs 

Pretty damn brave on the cat's part, too. 

Cats are notoriously assholes with superiority complexes. Dogs are notoriously fucking awesome. In this case you just have two rare animals.

It's a cat that picked a fight with a dog that's bigger than it. And he'd have been fed just the same whether he jumped in or not. Where's the sign of intelligence?

Why was that dog not on a leash? Damn inconsiderate owners.
