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

Nikki Walker, tante dari Bridger menceritakan secara detail bagaimana kronologi kejadian yang menyebabkan bocah tersebut harus mendapatkan 90 jahitan yang dilakukan oleh dokter bedah plastik.

‘9 July lalu, keponakanku yang berusia 6 tahun, Bridger menyelamatkan adik kecilnya dengan memasang badannya tepat di depan seekor anjing yang berusaha menyerang adiknya. Setelah mendapatkan beberapa gigitan di muka dan kepala, Bridger segera menggegam tangan adiknya dan berlari bersama untuk memastikan keduanya aman.‘ begitu tulis Nikki pada unggahan Instagramnya.

Usai dapatkan 90 jahitan, kondisi Bridger berangsur-angsur pulih

Saat ini Bridger masih harus beristirahat di rumah, namun berdasarkan keterangan dari Nikki, diketahui kalau kondisinya semakin membaik.

Bahkan dirinya disebutkan sudah mulai bisa sedikit tersenyum ketika mendengar respon positif dari para netizen yang dibacakan oleh Nikki. ‘Lukanya sudah semakin membaik, dia dalam semangat yang baik dan seperti biasa auranya tetap sama.‘ begitu lanjut Nikki.

Atas aksinya, Bridger mendapatkan banyak pujian dan tidak sedikit dari mereka yang ingin memberikan donasi bagi si pemberani, namun pihak keluarga justru menolak tawaran tersebut karena menurut mereka, Bridger hanya punya satu permintaan.

Apa keinginan Bridger?

Bridger diklaim memiliki ketertarikan khusus terhadap geologi dan oleh karena itu, Nikki juga meminta bantuan pada para pembaca untuk bisa mengirimkan foto batu unik yang berhasil mereka temukan atau bahkan mengirimkannya langsung ke alamat tempat tinggal Bridger.

Selain itu Nikki juga berharap agar para cast film The Avengers seperti Tom Holland, Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth dan Chris Evans bisa mengetahui kisah heroik yang dilakukan oleh keponakannya tersebut.

Meski harus mengalami kejadian yang kurang mengenakan, uniknya hubungan keluarga Bridger dengan sang pemilik anjing tetap dalam keadaan yang baik. Bahkan kedua keluarga tersebut malah semakin dekat.
