Would you dive in and wrestle with a dog attacking a cat?

If you saw a Pitbull-type dog attacking a cat would you dive in and wrestle with the dog, pull the dog off the cat and then dominate the dog while ushering them away from the cat? I am pretty sure that most people would be very reluctant to do this for fear of being badly injured themselves because the dog's blood is up. The animal is enraged and might redirect their attack from the cat to the person.

But this man did it and it looks great. He has got a lot of praise. Here are some screenshots from the video and the vide itself which is on TikTok. Below the image and video I discuss one caveat. It is an important point.

Here is the TikTok video which is embedded here. If it disappears on TikTok it disappears here too! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

Caveat

What I mean here is that the video may not be all that it seems. The guy looks brave and he is. And he respects animals as he does not harm the dog. He just grabs him and dominates him to keep him away from the cat.

But the issue is this: does he own both the cat and the dog? Or does he own the cat but not the dog? We are told that he owns the cat but not the dog.

If that is true he is brave and not a lot of people would put themselves so obviously in harms way to save their cat. A lot would but a lot would not. Or they'd find a weapon to beat the dog off and protect themselves. Not dive in an use their arms and hands.

But if he owns both animals he could be criticised for allowing the attack to occur. And it would explain why he is so respectful of the dog. 

You know, if you are driven to save the life of your cat from being killed by a dog you'd do anything to get the dog off. You'd harm the dog if you had to and it would be justified although very unfortunate.

We don't have the full backstory. The area where it occurred does not look typically residential. That's important. 

If it is residential, it may have happened outside the front door to his home which would make me believe that the dog and cat are his.

But if it is a public place and he was a passer by and decides to intervene, bravo to him.

Would you dive in and use your hands and arms to save a cat from a dog attack?
