On July 9th, 2020, six-year-old Bridger Walker saved his little sister from a dog attack. He had 90 stitches all over his body, but saved his three-year-old sister from certain death. While in the E.R. Bridger was asked why he didn’t run. He stated, “If anyone has to die, it’s me. I’m the big brother.”

Bridger was born in Wyoming. At the time of the attack, Bridger was at a friend’s house. Bridger saw the dog approach his sister and deliberately stood in front of her. The dog attacked Bridger instead, biting the side of the boy’s face and head. Stitches were required to reattach his scalp and cheek. Despite being injured, Bridger grabbed his sister’s hand and ran with her “to keep her safe.”

The World Boxing Council recognized him as a full-time world champion. Several of Hollywood’s biggest on screen heroes sent messages to the brave 6 year old. Chris Evans(Captain America), Robert Downey Jr. (Ironman), Mark Ruffalo(Hulk), and Anne Hathaway are among the stars that have reached out.
