I am not a "cat or dog" person. I love them both. I have two cats, Toonces and Muffin, and Cocoa the dog. When I saw a video of a cat defending his child owner, I was proud!

I scoured the web and found many more cases of cats being loyal and protective of their humans to a fault. Some of the animals they went up against, humans wouldn't touch.

See for yourself. In the original video I mentioned, a neighborhood dog attacks a child on a bike and the boy's cat comes to the rescue. The dog, which was tremendously aggressive when captured, has been put down.
