According to the news, the dog was going to be put down by the Animal Humane, or Animal Shelter. Said it was an aggressive dog that couldn't be trusted. I agree with this! That dog just decided to come out of it's yard, wander around and then attack an innocent little boy out of NOWHERE! Screw that! That dog wouldn't have made it out of my driveway.
I thought it was kind of funny that the cat made sure the dog left the property as well. After she got the dog off her human, she ran after it making sure it left. That is AWESOME!
Apparently the little boy is autistic (according to another news report), and his companion is the cat. The family had the cat before the little boy was born, and the cat just took to the boy when he was a newborn.
