The incident occurred in Bakersfield, California and was captured on home surveillance cameras.

You normally see dogs chasing cats but this was certainly not the case because if it hadn’t been for the family’s pet cat hitting the dog square on and then chasing the astonished canine off, the boy’s injuries could have been a lot worse.

As it was the boy needed several stitches in his leg. The dog, which belongs to the neighbour, is “under observation,” probably by the cat as well as the authorities.
