Bridger Walker became an overnight viral sensation. The six-year-old Wyoming boy saved his sister's life. Last week, he jumped in front of a dog charging toward the girl.
Bridger thwarted an attack but took a vicious dog bite to the left cheek. He required two hours of corrective surgery and 90 stitches. He said (quote) “If someone had to die, I thought it should be me.”
News of Bridger’s heroism reached The Avengers actors. He loves the series and dressed for Spider-Man for Halloween. Several of The Avengers have connected with this 6-year-old real-life hero including Chris Evans, Hugh Jackman, Mark Ruffalo and Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland.
