Hero Dog, a Real Life Story of a Puppy and a Cat

A Labrador puppy was the new arrival into a family who also had a cat who had been the only pet for years. The cute little puppy was loved by the whole family who lavished their attentions upon him. Well all except for the cat, who clearly resented the intrusion of another pet into the family despite the pups attempt to unconditionally love the cat anyway. Ignoring the cats hissing and attempts to scratch him he followed her everywhere and tried to play with her. It seemed no matter what the cat did the puppy was determined to love her. The weeks went by, it seemed the cat would never accept the puppy.


Than the situation changed dramatically.


One day the family heard a terrible screaming coming from the back yard of their suburban home. To their astonishment there was a lynx in the yard about to pounce on the cat who was trapped with no escape. Without intervention soon the cat would be a meal for the lynx. Than from out of nowhere came the little black Labrador who although still not fully grown challenged the lynx barking loudly with clear intention to bite, fully intent on mounting an attack. The cat ran for safety as the lynx turned towards the dog. The family hearing the ruckus joined the Labrador yelling and shouting until, having decided he had met his match, the lynx retreated into the woods.


From this time forwards the cat’s attitude changed towards the Labrador, she now followed him everywhere, lay with him, licked his face and even allowed him to eat from her bowl, the two became inseparable.
