California: The Californian cat which became a YouTube sensation days before by saving a boy from a dog attack, has been invited to “throw” the first pitch at a minor league baseball game.
The information was delivered by Bakersfield Blaze officials in California.
Tara, the family’s cat, was running towards the dog that attacked the child in the family. She chased it away from the child and then returned to the boy.
As a means of honor, the Local minor league baseball team at the Bakersfield Blaze has decided to invite the cat, assisted by the Triantafilo family, to throw the first pitch for a May 20 game.
Bakersfield police said that the 8-month-old Labrador-Chow hybrid dog that attacked the boy would be euthanized for four days after the game.
The Triantafilo family has not made any comment on this.
Video footage showed a dog dragging 4-year-old Jeremy from his tricycle in a driveway in Bakersfield.
