This looks like it was an actual act of love. Tara, you deserve a medal...





Tara the cat, who saved her family's four-year-old son from a vicious dog attack that was caught on camera, has been best friends with the boy since he was born, his parents have said.

She followed Erica and Roger Triantafilo home from a park in Bakersfield, California about six years ago and has been a member of the family ever since, they said.

On Wednesday, she became the nation's most beloved cat when surveillance footage emerged showing her saving their son Jeremy by pouncing on the neighbor's dog as it attacked him.

I honestly hated cats until we inherited my grandmother's cat. The cat is awesome, sweet as hell, and protective. Seems like this girl is cut from the same cloth. Good for them.

Yeah, that dog would be lucky to merely get a shot if it nearly killed my 4 year old. Baseball bat would be my choice of execution.
