The cat that was hailed a hero, after a video of her saving a young boy from a dog attack went viral, has 'thrown' the first pitch at a baseball game. Tara the California cat 'threw' a ceremonial pitch at the start of a Bakersfield Blaze baseball game on Tuesday. Four-year-old Jeremy Triantafilo was viciously bitten on the leg and dragged off his bike by a dog last week, before Tara lunged to save him. Jeremy threw the first pitch of the game before handing the ball to his cat. Fearless tabby Tara drew a large crowd of "hero cat" fans to the stadium, with attendance nearly triple that of a usual Tuesday night game. The clip of the daring rescue, uploaded by Jeremy's dad, shows a dog dragging him from his bike just as Tara ran to the rescue and chased it away. The video has now been viewed more than 20 million times. Report by Claire Lomas.
