Wondercat

He was a mean spirited canine though he had a home
He was like a ticking land mine as around he would roam
And as the dog went down his street he saw this little boy
There he was on his bicycle seat riding his brand new toy

He snuck around a parked car and then he made his attack
His mom crying out in horror as she barely had time to react
As the dog took his vicious bite it was now becoming a nightmare
When zooming in from the right, Tara, the family cat came to bear

She jumped right into that dogs face for herself having no fear
Chasing him away in a race until she knew the coast was clear
Coming back to check on her friend and it was a really bad bite
But this wound will one day mend but what if Tara didn't take flight

Oh the love and the loyalty that God's creatures so often show
Even from some people this you won't see, such love they don't know
But Tara was God's way to protect every creature at His Hand
So sad to see such animal neglect(though) throughout this entire land

Wow, is this a true story? Hard to imagine such loyalty in a cat. I think mine loves me but don't know that she would do something like this for me!! Good story!
