I found this on a forum I frequent; it was in the 'off topic' area.

It's a bad situation, but the dog owner is trying to make it right.

The poor kitty could use the power of purr: (copied directly from the
post)

Hey Cat lovers, I'd like to humbly request that you call upon whatever
deity you can relate to in whichever manner you relate to help a cat
that my dog Bodhi attacked today.

My girlfriend and I were preparing to take our dogs to the vet when they
flew the coop and took off out into the neighborhood. While on the lam
Bodhi and Mikey apparently found a big fat Tabby and Bodhi shook it real
good. After nearly breaking my neck crossing a barbed wire fence and 40
feet of thick briars I got to the cat that was floating half dead in a
creek. I jumped into the creek and tore my dog off the cat and lifted
the cat out of the water, I wasn't sure if the cat was alive at this
point. The dogs were'nt giving up yet and Bodhi kept jumping at the cat.
My girlfriend finally got down to us and was able to distract the dogs
long enough for me to walk along a downed tree out of the creek and over
much of the briars while holding the cat. My girlfriend then drove the
dogs back and locked them in the house and then came and picked myself
and the cat up. We headed off to the vet then. The cat and I were both
soaked but the cat seemed a bit better on the way. It began making some
noise and was breathing. Once we got to the vet they took the cat in
immediately and checked for shock and administered some pain med. They
couldn't find any serious wounds and are mainly worried about damage
from shaking such as neck wounds.

I've got THE best vet around. I explained the situation (and that my
dogs had attacked the cat which was not mine) and accepted financial
responsibility for the vet bill but the vet pretty much treated it like
a stray and doing it no charge.

So, please pray for this cats recovery and that it's owner will see my
sign and call me.
