Captain America Sends Message to 6 Yr Old Boy Who Saved His Baby Sister From a Dog Attack
Where to start on this heroic story. Meet 6 year old Bridger. Bridger saved his little sister from a dog attack and had to undergo a surgery as well as receive a massive amount of stitches. He said “if someone was going to die I thought it should be me”.
Yes, we’re crying too. Bridger’s favorite thing is, of course, The Avengers, so the internet got together to try to make a little boys dream come true even with the help of celebrities trying to get their attention.
Captain America came through. And he came through strong with a real life Captain America shield for the little hero.
Captain America himself has sent a very special message & gift to 6-year-old hero Bridger, who saved his baby sister from a dog attack. ❤️😭(📷: @nicolenoelwalker/@chrisevans) pic.twitter.com/BX2u6TU1xd

The Incredible Hulk, Mark Ruffalo, left a comment on the post saying, “Dear Bridger, I just read about what happened to you and I wanted to reach out to say this … People who put the well beings of others in front of themselves are the most heroic and thoughtful people I know.I truly respect and admire your courage and your heart. Real courage isn’t dominating people or fighting against people or walking around like a tough guy. Real courage is knowing what is right to do and doing it even when it might end up hurting you somehow. You are more of man than many, many I have seen or known. With Admiration … Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner/Hulk/Professor).”
Anne Hathaway shared Bridger’s story on her page as well, captioning her post, “I’m not an Avenger, but I know a superhero when I see one. I can only hope I’m half as brave in my life as you are in yours, Bridger. Wishing you an easeful recovery, and many cool looking rocks. “
As the praise kept coming, the family has received inquiries about a GoFundMe, but they instead asked for people to donate to The Wounded Warrior Project and Mission 22, a pair of support groups for veterans.
