Today, while driving, I witnessed the neighbors dog viciously shaking a black cat. So I slammed on the brakes and jumped out of the car, frantically chasing around the huge dog screaming "Help, someone please help!" I finally managed to tackle him and release the cat. It was a stuffed animal. FML

You tackled a dog that you thought was trying to kill something?? STUPIDEST MOVE EVER. If that really had been an angry dog trying to kill something, you could have gotten YOURSELF killed. Never, EVER physically intervene when a dog is fighting something. Throw things at it, spray water at it, whatever, but don't physically try to pull it off whatever it's attacking (unless it's a person... in which case valuing the other person's safety above your own is understandable). AND you screamed for other people to help? Not to mention... if the cat was real, and alive, I'm sure it would have been screaming. If it wasn't, it was either fake or dead... in which case, not worth your time and effort. YDI.

Nobody values animals lives anymore I see.

Aw, that's embarrassing. But at least your heart was in the right place. If it had really been a cat, you would have saved it.

Relax and don't be so melodramatic. It's okay to love cats, but wrestling a dog off one is lacking a little in common sense.

I pictured this in my mind and laughed for 5 minutes. HOLY ******* BALLS IS THAT DOG KILLING A CAT? SLAM ON MY GODDAMN BRAKES AND CHASE IT IN CIRCLES LIKE AN IDIOT OH MY GOD SOMEONE HELP THE POOR CAT HELP HELP HELP TACKLE THE BASTARD...ohshit it was a stuffed animal.

the dog may have been giving the cat a chriopractic adjusment or carrying the cat back inside the house.

HAHAHA! I just laughed out loud for a good 5 minutes. Eventually, you'll look back and laugh. xD LOL!

I don't know why everyone is saying YDI on this. First of all, anyone who says "It's survival of the fittest" or stuff like that is a moron. This isn't nature. Most of the real cats near OP are probably peoples' pets. Trying to physically get the dog off the cat probably wasn't the best idea, but I still applaude you. However, I don't think this is really an FML, unless you were injured by the dog.

omg i shouldnt of read that,my cat(a black cat)was killed by a dog a few weeks ago D:

Yeah, you're lucky the dog wasn't actually "vicious" or you would probably be severely injured. I know you were just trying to help out, but sometimes thing like these need to be thought out first.
