A FOUR-year-old boy has declared his admiration for his pet cat after she leapt to his rescue as a dog went in for the attack.
Jeremy Triantafilo was playing on the drive when the dog attacked him - but his pet cat Tara was quick to the rescue. She chased off the dog in moments.
The amazing Tabby's bravery was captured on video and was soon posted on Youtube.
The clip has now attracted more than 5 million views and due to its popularity, ABC News went down to interview the little guy.
The young Jeremy was quick to gush about his cat saying she had followed him home some two years ago and pronounced the furry feline 'my hero.'
The cat immediately took to sleeping with him in his crib and the pair have shared a bond ever since.
