A six-year-old boy is winning the Internet for showing courage while fighting with a dog.
The brave boy Bridger Walker from the US saved his little sister from a dog and put his life in danger.

Walker has left injured badly in the attack, however, he saved his little sister.


For his courageous act, social media has been flooded with several messages. Even Hollywood stars Mark Ruffalo and Anne Hathaway applauds the child.

Bridger’s aunt Nikki Walker shared the details of the incident on Instagram and also shared the pictures of Bridger and his sister.

The incident took place on July 9 when the dog approached the little girl and it was Bridger who protected his sister. In the attack, Bridger got injured as the dog bit him on his left cheek. Irrespective of his serious injury, Bridger managed to escape the spot with his sister.

According to his aunt, Bridger received 90 stitches for his injury and a plastic surgeon helped to treat him. However, the boy is resting at his home.

"My nephew is a hero who saved his little sister from an attacking dog. He, himself, took on the attack so that the dog wouldn't get his sister. He later said, "If someone was going to die, I thought it should be me." He got home from the hospital last night. I know it's a long shot, but I'm reaching out to the Avengers and other heroes so that they can learn about this latest addition to their ranks," Nikki Walker caption reads. She also tagged Hollywood stars Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo, Vin Diesel, Chris Evans, and other actors.

Hey, all. Please, share my nephew’s story so that it gets as much exposure as it can. We know that our little hero would love some words of encouragement from his favorite heroes. On July 9th, my six year old nephew Bridger saved his little sister’s life by standing between her and a charging dog. After getting bit several times on the face and head, he grabbed his sister’s hand and ran with her to keep her safe. He later said, “If someone had to die, I thought it should be me.” After receiving 90 stitches (give or take) from a skilled plastic surgeon, he’s finally resting at home. We love our brave boy and want all the other superheroes to know about this latest hero who joined their ranks. @tomholland2013 @chrishemsworth @robertdowneyjr @markruffalo @prattprattpratt @twhiddleston @chadwickboseman @vindiesel @chrisevans EDIT: I just finished visiting with Bridger at his home. His wounds are looking so much better! He’s in great spirits, and his awesome personality is intact. He can’t smile too widely yet, but he was grinning as I read some of your comments to him. I’d also like to mention here that the dog’s owners are really great people who have been nothing but kind to Bridger and his family. We feel no resentment toward them at all, and—if anything—there’s only been an increase of love between our families as a result of this incident. EDIT 2: Once again we’re blown away by the amazing comments and messages that Bridger’s receiving. I’ve had lots of inquiries about a GoFundMe. Bridger’s family has asked that any one wishing to help out financially can, instead, donate to @mission_22 or @wwp. Bridger is also a huge fan of Science, especially Geology. So I’m going to start a post where people can share with him pictures of cool rocks that they see. EDIT 3: Once again, everyone’s kindness has meant so much to us. I’m trying to get to all of the messages that I can, but it may take some time. For those who have inquired about sending Bridger some rocks, here’s the address to use: Bridger Walker P.O. Box 22141 Cheyenne, WY 82003 #BridgerStrong

The post of Nikki on this little brother-sister love, Hollywood stars hailed the Bridger.

Actor Mark Ruffalo wrote for Bridger:

“Dear Bridger, I just read about what happened to you and I wanted to reach out to say this... People who put the well beings of others in front of themselves are the most heroic and thoughtful people I know. I truly respect and admire your courage and your heart. Real courage isn't dominating people or fighting against people or walking around like a tough guy. Real courage is knowing what is right to do and doing it even when it might end up hurting you somehow. You are more of a man than many, many I have seen or known. With Admiration...Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner/Hulk/Professor)”

While Anne Hathaway applauded Bridger on Facebook and wrote, “I'm not an Avenger, but I know a superhero when I see one. I can only hope I'm half as brave in my life as you are in yours, Bridger. Wishing you an easeful recovery, and many cool looking rocks.”

 

What a courageous act performed by Bridger Walker to protect his sister from the dog who could harm her badly!
