Bridger Walker, a brave 6-year-old boy from Wyoming, has gained social media notoriety after being praised by Anne Hathaway for rescuing his sister from a dog attack.
That hero is six-year-old Bridger Walker of Cheyenne, Wyoming, and according to an Instagram post by his aunt (via Deadline), little Bridger — who’s apparently a huge Cap fan — saved his four-year-old sister’s life on July 9 when he put himself between her and a charging dog.
Bridger sustained several bites on his face and head before he got himself and his sister out of danger, with his injuries requiring two hours of surgery and some 90 stitches. Bridger’s aunt Nicole quoted the brave little boy as saying, “If someone had to die, I thought it should be me.”
Captain America portrayer Chris Evans sent him a Captain America shield and a message of encouragement. (TODAY)
At press time, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Holland and Brie Larson — along with Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), the Russo brothers, and DC actors Zachary Levi (Shazam!), Robbie Amell (The Flash) and Anne Hathaway (The Dark Knight Rises) — have all reached out to Bridger in response. (Den Of Geek)
Perhaps the best was this video message from Evans, who promised to send Bridger a real Captain America shield as a gift:
