9 Year Old Boy, Touted As Hero For Saving Little Sister In Vicious Dog Attack
The story of a heroic 9-year-old boy went viral recently when he saved his little sister from a dog attack. Bridger ended up in the hospital for a reconstructive surgery at the hands of a skilled plastic surgeon.
His aunt, Nicole Noel Walker, made an Instagram post to highlight his bravery and her pride in her little hero. In the post, she made a special plea for her post to be noticed by Bridger’s favourite superheroes and the post became viral with over 988 000 likes in 3 days.
Bridger received words of encouragement from a number of celebrities including Octavia Spencer, Grant Gustin and Mark Ruffalo who plays Bruce Banner/Hulk in the Avengers series.
In his long comment, Mark mentioned how much respect he has for the little man for being selfless.
Other celebrities and influencers also applauded Bridger’s selflessness and love for his little sister. A few of them even wanted to send him complimentary goodies.
The icing on the cake was when Captain America himself made a special video for Bridger. Chris Evans took the time to express his heartfelt wishes for the little hero. The post went viral with over 500 000 likes and netizens commenting on the sweet gesture done by Chris.
Luahan Wartawan: What a brave little boy. He is so selfless that he rather be bitten by the dog than let his sister suffer the pain of being bitten and stitched up later.
I am always in awe of how children’s hearts work. Their love is pure and innocent, altruistic even, in some cases like Bridger.
It was very sweet of the Avengers cast to actually respond to Bridger.
More children who have done extraordinary things out of the goodness of their hearts should be given virality.
We as adults can learn more from them, especially in the fast-paced world we’re all living in today. It’s everyone for themselves, so much so that empathy is lost in the process.
