Cat saves boy from dog attack in Bakersfield, Calif.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (WLS) -- A boy playing in his driveway was attacked by his neighbor's dog so the child's cat, Tara, swooped in for the save.

Surveillance video shows the boy was on his bicycle when the neighbor's dog snuck up behind him and grabbed his leg. He's pulled off the bike and down to the ground.

The child's pet cat, Tara, comes out of nowhere and tackles the dog. The cat then chases the dog off of the family's property.

The boy needed a few stitches, but is OK.

The dog is now under observation.
