The seven pit bulls were out for their regular walk, simply minding their own business, in the words of their walker. They were completely unaware they were about to encounter a cat named Baby.
Kyla Grover explained to The Vancouver Sun what happened next as the seven — from a breed with a perhaps unfair reputation for viciousness - were set upon.
“The dogs were walking by, completely minding their own business,” she said. “The cat just goes at all of the dogs, not backing down.”
Ms Grover said that none of the dogs attacked back, and they did not know how to defend themselves. “The cat is swiping at them and latched onto one of the dog’s faces,” she said. “I got bit and scratched in the process of trying to separate them."
Del Thompson, the cat’s owner, said that the sight of all the dogs most likely scared her. “She’s a watchdog and doesn’t know it,” he said of his pet. “Cats and dogs don’t get along too well sometimes.”
Mr Thompson and his wife are paying the $222 veterinarian bill for the dog who’s face was injured.
“The vet hospital thought it was a raccoon that attacked her,” Grover said. “She’s on antibiotics.”
