Bridger Walker, of Cheyenne, Wyoming instantly became a hero after he saved his sister from a dog attack. Now his favorite hero wanted to reach out...
Bridger saved his 4-year-old sister’s life by standing in between her and a charging dog.
According to his father, Robert Walker, Bridger was bitten in the face by the dog, requiring over 90 stitches to repair the wound.
"While at a friend’s house, Bridger and his sister went into the home’s backyard," Walker wrote in a press release. "Upon entering the yard, the child with them pointed to one dog and said, 'that is the nice dog,' and pointed to the other dog in the yard, explaining, 'that is the mean one.' Bridger explained how, at that moment, the mean one ran at them. In Bridger’s words, 'I stepped to the side, in front of my sister so that the dog wouldn’t get her. I kept moving, so it couldn’t get past.'"
The dog did not relent but continued to charge, with the end result being the bite to young Bridger's face. Bridger is doing much better after receiving over 90 stitches.
