Forget dogs, cats are man's new best friend. A four-year-old boy in Bakersfield, California was riding his bike in his driveway when the neighbor's dog snuck around a car and ran up and bit the little boy.   Guess who saved him?

Not two seconds later his family cat came charging out of the house and chased the dog off. The most amazing part? It's all caught on security camera! According to KernGoldenEmpire.com, the little boy's mom, Erica Triantafilo, was outside and said the dog was outside and she tried to shoo him off but he bit her too.

The boy was taken to the hospital and got 10 stitches. Triantafilo says the dog's owners had the dog "voluntarily" quarantined. You can check out the footage.

 
Are you team cat or team dog? I had both growing up, and I can't imagine my cat trying to save me!
