A brave 6 years old brother gets attacked by a ferocious dog trying to save his sister

Who said that superheroes are only fictional characters and don’t exist in real life? Well, this is what most people have been thinking until now but 6-years-old Bridger Walker has proved them all wrong. In an attempt to save his little sister from a ferocious dog, he ended up getting more than 90 stitches on his face. 

But who is this young boy and where is he from?

Bridger walker, a 6-year-old boy from Cheyenne was with his little sister when this incident took place. This unfortunate incident took place on the 9th of July when they went over to their neighbor’s house to play with some friends.

There were several dogs present on their ground at that time. One of Bridger’s close friends casually pointed out the dog and told him that it was a mean dog. As a response to this action, the vicious dog brutally attacked them.

When the German Shepard dog came running to attack Bridger’s little sister, he jumped in between to save her. He defended his 4-year-old sister with such courage that we had only seen in films before.

After the 1-year-old German Shepard bit Bridger’s face and head, he still didn’t stop and began screaming for his sister, telling her to run away quickly. When the dog let go of Bridger, he held his sister’s hand and ran away.

Fortunately, the owner of the dog took notice of this shocking event and procured their dog. He took the siblings to their house and put pressure on his wounded face to control blood loss and called 911 in an emergency.

When Bridger was taken to the hospital, he had to get 90 stitches immediately to close up the wound. This entire process took around 90 minutes to finish and after that, he was allowed to leave the clinic with his parents.

This brave deed of this young little fella has won millions of hearts around the globe and he has received tremendous love from the people.

Bridger Walker’s treatment: 

After getting over 90 stitches on his face and head due to the vicious dog bite, Bridger was sent home with his parents. This little hero is currently undergoing treatment for the huge scars on his face.

His act of heroism made a team of doctors reach out to him, offering to treat the little boy with care for free after coming across his story.

Bridger is undergoing some laser treatment to help heal his heroic scars with the help of Dr. Cory Maughan, Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali, and Dr. Sandra Lee.

The prestigious doctor Dhaval Bhanusali talked about Bridger’s act of bravery by saying that every once in a while they meet such patients who do a lot more for us than we can do for them.

He further reported that the 6-year-old boy inspired him and in a time when the world is fighting and so much negativity prevails, he has provided the world hope. Dr. said that this little hero has “represented all that is good”.

In October, Bridger Walker continued his treatment with Dr, Maughan in Utah, which is nearer to the family’s house. The 6-year-old warrior is now being treated with the Alma erbium and Candela Vbean lasers for the best results.

His father shared on his social media account that they have started New Year’s with a new dog and named him “Loki” at Bridger’s request.

We all think how he must be terrified of dogs now, but this little champ is the perfect example of facing your fears. His father told the world that his son started “a little nervous” and he has no doubt the two boys will be best buds very soon.

 His Aunt shared his heroic act on her social media:

His aunt also tagged some Avenger superheroes to let them know his nephew’s story and to let them know about their “new team member”. While sharing the story with the world, Bridger Walker’s aunt wrote how it is a “long shot” but she is trying to reach out to the 6-year-old’s favorite heroes.

Bridger’s aunt told that when he went back home from the hospital after getting over 90 stitches, he said to his parents that the reason why he saved his sister is that “If someone had to die, I thought it should be me”.
