I was first to post this video Miracle Cat Saves Child
My post went totally ignored but for two replies
Simply wondering why my post was ignored but this post got so many replies, please don't read anything more into my question, only wanted to learn what I was doing wrong here...............
That's IT!

My guess is because this story has appeared in every forum here and has been on every TV show and newscast since it happened. I think it's called overkill. No pun intended.
I certainly hope that the owners of the dog learn a valuable lesson: keep your dogs on a leash, OR otherwise locked securely in a yard. We have to remember they are animals and not logical, the poor thing will probably be put down now because of stupid human owners.

And +1 for the cat!
Maybe I'm wrong but I guess its often just instinct when it comes to animals. They usually don't learn to be mean or to be protective, they can't think it through, they just react with what they have inside of them.
When I was a kid, I knew a nice dog. One day I teased the dog so much he started chasing me, I sure learned not to tease dogs but I feared them afterwards. a big overreaction.
I guess Duke's instinct told him "Whoa! Too much" when I wouldn't let up. I don't blame him.
Duke was nice enough to not catch me when I started running as fast as I could.
Some individual dogs make great pets, will be loyal, protective, sympathetic. That dog had a generalized attack instinct way beyond defense and shouldn't have been a house pet, the heroic cat has the instinct to protect and defend.

1.The mother "may" have been a racist. Did you see any minorities included in the story?!!?
2. Clearly, we need more government regulations for dogs.
3. Mother probably had to drive out of county for boy's stitches, since due to Obamacare, many hospitals are now out of network.
4. That white SUV in the driveway is a gas guzzler. (Can't you hear the hole in the ozone ripping wider!!?)
5. If we had lower taxes, the dog owners could afford a fence In their yard.
6. And somehow, of course, it was totally Bush's fault.
Did anyone mention how NOT like a lab-chow this dog looked? Did the word "pit" come up yet? Oh yes, reading along I see it was mentioned. That dog grabbed his leg to get him off the bike. It would have taken a second for him to grab his throat, especially with the kit crying.
The mother was right there. It happened fast. She didn't even know the cat did that until her husband showed her the video. SUPERCAT!
That's my favorite cat of all times. He body slammed that mongrel.
Corporal punishment.
I'm surprised some people aren't asking for the cat to be euthanized for using corporal punishment to solve a behavior problem.
My cats used to break up tiffs between my two female dogs.
They'd jump right in, claws out, hissing. Broke up the dog fight pretty quickly!
Yes, cats aren't exactly pacifists -- there was a dog who would come into our yard and try to get the cats, the cats would have to run up trees. One day our dogs got into a fight with this trespassing dog and the cat jumped into the fight. She meant to get her revenge on that dog -- but was smart enough to know she couldn't do it alone.
