Stray tabby dangerously wanders into a dog pen

This stray tabby was barely four months old when she somehow wandered in my parent's fenced-in backyard where three large dogs lived.

My Dad was first alerted by some barking and growling. When he went out to see what the commotion was he found a little cat motionless and lying under one of his hounds. To his relief he saw that the poor cat was alive and amazingly unharmed. She apparently had been very still and was making crying noises during the attack. I wonder if this saved her life?

The next day or so, my girlfriend and I adopted the tabby and named her, Cookie. She had been with us for eight years now.
