Tara the cat was relaxes after attempting to throw out the first pitch of the Bakersfield Blaze baseball game game at Sam Lynn Ballpark Tuesday night May 20, 2014 in Bakersfield, Calif. Tara was captured on security camera when she pounced on a dog that attacked 4-year-old Jeremy Triantafilo. The video, which has garnered 21 million YouTube views, shows the dog biting and attempting to drag the boy. Within seconds, Tara leaps out of nowhere and chases the canine away. There was a failed attempt at the game, between the Blaze and the Lancaster JetHawks, to have Tara "throw" the pitch using a baseball attached to a fishing line.
