Sophie Thomas may own the world's bravest cat. The 97-year-old Harrison, Michigan resident was working in her garden recently when four growling pit bulls surrounded her. One of the dogs lunged at her, biting her on the arm.

Sophie screamed and struck back, and as she did her cat Tiger jumped into the fray. Tiger then bolted for the nearby garage. The dogs chased the cat, giving Sophie a chance to escape into her house.

The cat survived unharmed.

The dogs are quarantined and their owner has been fined.
