Rise to be famous
On May 13, 2014, four-year-old Jeremy Triantafilo was riding his bicycle on a family road in Bakersfield, California, when his neighbor dog, described as a mixture of 8 month old Labrador and Chow, came from behind and cruelly attacked him at his feet. The dog loudly pulled Jeremy down the driveway as Tara darted to rescue her, capturing a much larger dog and chased him, then returned to Jeremy's side to examine him. Jeremy needed 10 stitches in his left calf after the attack, but he quickened his recovery and was grateful for Tara's heroism.
A few days later, local small-league baseball team Bakersfield Blaze invited the cat, aided by Jeremy's family, to throw the first throw in a Bakersfield league baseball game at Sam Lynn Ballpark in recognition of his deed. In the same spirit, the Cat Fanciers' Association announces Tara's first Hero Cow Prize recipient.

Dog fate
Scrappy, an 8-month-old Labrador-Chow blend was handed over by the owner to the City of Bakersfield Animal Care Center on May 13, when it commenced a 10-day mandatory period of quarantine to determine if the animal had rabies.
After a video about Tara became viral, websites and online petitions appeared and insisted that the dog not be removed, and calls flooded the phone at the Bakersfield Animal Care Center, according to its director Julie Johnson. However, based on observations in the cage during the quarantine period, dogs remain classified as "malignant" and "dangerous" animals. Therefore, the adoption request was strongly rejected.
At the end of the mandatory 10-day quarantine period, Scrappy was euthanized despite being opposed by animal groups and online petitioners. The dog was "humanely buried during the weekend," (May 24, 2014), according to Johnson, who noted the incident had ended far from being quietly.
