Superhero kitty cat fights off an evil dog attack to save a young boys life.

This is one of the more amazing videos I have seen recently. A young boy was riding a little bicycle when apparently the neighbor’s dog got loose and charged the boy and grabs his leg.  Out of nowhere the superhero house cat came to the boys rescue.  The cat charged and side-swiped the dog, knocked it off the boy. The cat then chased the dog off the property.  It was reported by the mother that the boy received a few stiches and will be fine.  Click to see video
The break down to this story in regards to Washington State dog bite laws:

So, this dog bite incident occurred in Washington State, the owner of the dog would be liable for a damages suffered by the boy.

Yes, Proof of provocation of the attack by the injured person shall be a complete defense to an action for damages.RCW 16.08.060.
Are pit-bulls banded or declared dangerous is Washington State?
