Bridger Walker, a brave 6-year-old boy from Wyoming, has gained social media notoriety after being praised by Anne Hathaway for rescuing his sister from a dog attack
On July 9, Bridger jumped into action when a 1-year-old old German shepherd mix charged toward his 4-year-old sister, a statement from the family obtained by CNN states. While shielding his sister he was brutally attacked by the dog."Tragically, instead of running off, the dog leaped and latched onto Bridger's cheek," the statement reads in part. Bridger subsequently underwent a two-hour surgery that required more than 90 stitches, according to his family.
