Avengers Stars & Other Celebs Messaged Brave 6 YO Boy For Protecting His Sister From Dog 

Avengers Stars & Other Celebs Messaged Brave 6 YO Boy For Protecting His Sister From Dog

Those girls are really lucky who have big brothers as they may be a little dominating at times but they are the ones who keep every problem far away from their little sister. Today we are going to tell you about one such brother-sister duo, the boy may be just six years old but what he did to save his little sister is highly courageous.

This month on 9th July, six years old Bridger came in between of his sister and a ferocious dog that came charging at the little girl. He got bitten many times on his head and face but he didn’t let the dog do any harm to his sister and then he ran with his sister in order to keep her safe and sound. The boy got 90 stitches from an expert plastic surgeon and presently, he is recovering at his home.

The incident was shared on the social media networks by Bridger’s aunt Nikki Walker as she wanted to get her nephew encouraged by his favorite superheroes Avengers. She took to her Instagram and shared the whole incident and asked everyone to share it so that the story got maximum coverage. Nikki also told that when the dog charged at Bridger’s sister, he thought that if someone had to lose life, it would be him.

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, we are so thankful. However, we are asking that those inspired by Bridger to do something kind for another person in Bridger’s honor.

Soon, Captain America aka Chris Evans sent a recorded message for Bridger in which he praised the boy whole heartedly and also made a promise to Bridger that he would certainly send him an authentic shield of Captain America.

Nikki posted the photo of Bridger when he was listening to the recorded video message sent by Chris Evans. At that time, Bridger was dressed in Captain America’s suit.

The Hulk aka Mark Ruffalo also sent a beautiful message for Bridger, saying that he admires Bridger’s courage and heart. Mark also said that the real courage is not fighting with people but doing what you know is right even if you hurt yourself in the process. Here is the message:

Bridger also got to talk to Spiderman aka Tom Holland via video call who not only admired the young lad but also asked him who his favorite Avenger is. Co-incidentally, Bridger was watching a Spiderman movie at that time.

Other than these, other actors who play the roles of superheroes such as Robbie Amell, Brie Larson, Grant Gustin, etc. also sent messages to the little boy.

Nikki also protected the family who owns that dog and said that they have been very good to Bridger and the whole family and this incident has certainly brought them all together.

Bridger is certainly a very brave boy and a big brother that every girl will love to have.
