Calling for bark-up! Puppy enlists a bigger dog for protection after cat takes a swipe at him with his claws

This is the hilarious moment a puppy called on a bigger dog to protect him from a territorial cat. 

Four-month-old Cavapoo Louie was trying to walk into the bathroom in his house in New York, but the homeowner's cat Marvin, seven, had other ideas.

The footage shows Marvin with his claws clasped around Louie's head as he squeals in pain before being released and cowering away.

Louie then leaves the bathroom with the cat feeling victorious as the filmer asks: 'Marvin! Marvin did you have to use the claws?'

However a few seconds later Louie returns with back-up in the form of a much bigger dog, one-year-old Leela. 

As soon as Leela enters the room the cat very quickly hops onto the sink to save himself from an altercation.

Louie wags his tail happily as he is allowed to pass through into the room with his larger buddy by his side.  

The woman filming then exclaims at her cat: 'Oh yeah, he brings in the big guns and you run!'  

She continues to chuckle as Marvin tries to hide itself inside the bathroom basin.
