Wyoming freshman Bridger Walker saw his little sister attacked by a large neighbor’s dog on July 9, CNN reports.
The dog rushed to the girl, but she could not move – fear, as often happens, did not allow her to take a step.
Without thinking twice, the boy rushed to his sister to help and distract the dog. A moment later, the young hero was struggling with the dog.
The battle was short-lived, but the student completed his mission – the villain with the tail retreated and fled.
As soon as Bridger was convinced that nothing threatened his sister, he took her by the hand and led her home.
The girl was indeed safe, but her brother needed urgent medical attention.
His face was scratched with dog claws.
The wounds on the boy’s face were so deep that the family had to resort to the services of plastic surgeons.
The doctors stitched up Bridger, and now he’s resting at home and regaining his strength.
However, the hero is unlikely to be left alone thanks to his aunt named Nicole.
The first member of the Avengers team to know of the schoolboy’s heroism was Chris Evans, aka Captain America.
The actor recorded a video message for Bridger in which he wished him a speedy recovery.
The interpreter of the role of Hulk, Mark Ruffalo, did not deviate. True, he did not record a video, but limited himself to a comment under Nicole’s post, but that is also worth a lot.
Despite Bridger being injured by a neighbor’s dog, the boy’s relatives have no claims against the dog’s owners.
We don’t blame them at all. Relations between our families have only improved.
The boy himself, as the aunt assures us, is on the mend.
Admittedly, it is difficult for him to smile, but the comments he receives make him happy.
