Sex ára drengur bjargaði systur sinni frá árás óðs hunds

Bridger hlaut fjöl­mörg bitsár í and­lit og höfuð, og var hann saum­aður 90 sporum. Eftir árás­ina náði hann að grípa í hönd systur sinnar og hlupu þau í skjól.

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

Frænka þeirra, Nicole Walker, deildi myndum af systkin­unum og segir hún að Bridger hafi sagst hafa hugsað: „Ef ein­hver þarf að deyja af völdum hunds­ins þá er það ég.“ Walker sagð­ist deila mynd­inni þannig að ofur­hetjur á borð við hetj­urnar í The Avengers kvik­mynd­inni mættu heyra af frænda hennar.

Bridger hefur hlotið mikið lof fyrir hetju­dáð sína, og hafa þekktir leik­arar á borð við Chris Evans (Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), en báðir léku þeir í The Avengers, og Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada) og fleiri hyllt hann fyrir hetju­dáð­ina.

Evans sendi Bridger skila­boð, þar sem hann sagði hann raun­veru­lega hetju og lofar að senda honum ekta Captain America skjöld. Bridger horfði á skila­boðin frá átrún­að­ar­goði sínu, klæddur í bún­ing Captain America.
