Things escalate extremely quickly when this random dog decides to attack a child, but this cat just comes screaming in out of nowhere and puts a stop to it. It kind of bucks the stereotype that all cats are asocial narcissists.
You risk your life every time you step out the door. Or even stay at home. Even when you're sleeping. Anyway, these folks are some of the luckiest people out there. You never know how life will roll the dice, but it looks a lot like these people got a second chance that many aren't afforded. If you're in the mood, here are some more nerve-wracking stories of survival.
I was diving off the coast of Santa Barbara at Refugio Point Sept 1st when I was hit in the back, I thought it was my friends playing a joke on me. I lost grip of my speargun which I quickly retrieved and then it hit me. A HUGE great white which was at least 12ft long attacked me from the left side. It quickly circled around me and I used my speargun to keep it away.
Extremely lucky to get out of this one alive. I saw blood around me and wasn't sure where it was from, so I swam as fast as I could back to shore. Got a laceration on my right foot in the initial hit, I didn't realized the shark had bit me. The shark bite broke two of my toes.
Here is the aftermath of my toes:

Inspired by some medieval training dummies, I'm sure. No cats were harmed during the using of this dummy. No cats actually used the dummy, come to think of it...
