The kid owns the cat, the cat proves they're not all assholes.
Hooray for the cat.....although I doubt it cared about the kid, it probably just noticed a good chance to take it to a dog
But, That'd be one dead dog had that been one of my kiddos.....don't care where or who it ran back to, I'd have found it and put an end to it's dangerous, attacking ways.......
***edit*** Just read the article about it and it said the kid needed stitches and the dog came back and tried to bite the Mom, that it was a neighbors dog and that the dog is currently "under observation" I'm sorry.....I love dogs just as much as the next dog lover but the only observation you should be having of that dog right now is it being creamated or buried. Once ANY dog attacks ANYONE it should be 'nighty night' for them.
