Tara the hero cat saved her 4-year-old human's life when he was attacked by a dog while playing in his yard.

Before the boy's mother could save him, Tara ran at the dog and body slammed him to get away!

Tara was called a hero by the boy's family, as well as the the California state senate. The Kern county board of supervisors even declared June 3 "Tara 'The Hero Cat' Day."
