A Cheyenne, Wyoming youngster is being hailed a hero for stepping in between his little sister and a charging dog on July 9th—an act of bravery that resulted in 90 stitches to his face.
According to a post on Instagram from 6-year-old Bridger Walker’s aunt, Nikki Walker, the boy was bitten several times in the head and face after he intervened, “then grabbed his sister’s hand and ran with her to keep her safe.” Bridger later said, “”If someone was going to die, i thought it should be me.” Wow—such a selfless sense of sacrifice at just six years old.
Walker tagged Bridger’s favorite superheroes—actors from the Marvel Cinematic Universe—in her post, and at least one of them has already responded.
