A 6-year-old Wyoming boy received about 90 stitches after a dog chewed up his face as he saved his little sister from the aggressive animal last Thursday, according to a viral Instagram post.
Bridger Walker of Cheyenne, Wyo., was resting at home after the rescue, according to the post by Nikki Walker.
Nikki Walker said on social media that she is the boy’s aunt and wanted to bring attention to his heroism.
“He’s in great spirits, and his awesome personality is intact,” Walker wrote. “He can’t smile too widely yet, but he was grinning as I read some of your comments to him.”
Images on Instagram showed Bridger’s faced bloated and reddened.
The post pulled in more than 900,000 likes by Wednesday.
A series of celebrities chimed in with messages to the boy.
Actor Mark Ruffalo commented: “People who put the well beings of others in front of themselves are the most heroic and thoughtful people I know.”
Walker shared photos of Bridger and his little sister before the attack – as well as heart-wrenching photos of his facial injuries after it. The boy's face appears cut from his lip up his cheek and is covered in stitches. It is also swollen and bruised.
Chris Evans sent Bridger a video message. "This is a message for Bridger. Hey Bridger, Captain America here. How you doing, buddy?" the actor said in a video, which Walker posted on Instagram alongside a video of Bridger's reaction on Wednesday."I'm sure you've heard a lot of this over the last couple of days, but let me be the next one to tell you, pal, you're a hero," Evans said. "What you did was so brave, so selfless. Your sister is so lucky to have you as a big brother. Your parents must be so proud of you."
In the video, Evans said he will send the superhero fan an authentic Captain America shield. "Keep being the man you are, we need people like you," the actor said.
Other on-screen heroes commented. Brie Larson, who plays Captain Marvel, wrote to Walker that she was direct messaging her. Jeremy Renner, who plays Hawkeye in the Avengers, called Bridger "the first Avenger." "What fortitude and heart," Renner wrote.
Octavia Spencer, Gordon Ramsey, Kevin Jonas, Robbie Amell and others also commended Bridger, while the U.S. Navy and Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) praised the boy's bravery.
After receiving over a million likes and thousands of comments, Walker added an update to the post's caption. "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," Walker wrote. "He can't smile too widely yet, but he was grinning as I read some of your comments to him.
In a second update to the post, Walker said she's received many inquiries about setting up a GoFundMe for the boy and his family. "Bridger's family has asked that any one wishing to help out financially can, instead, donate to @mission_22 or @wwp," she wrote. Mission 22 and WWP are both foundations for veterans and wounded U.S. soldiers.
"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," Walker wrote. She also shared an address where people can send cool rocks as gifts for Bridger. The story continues to gain more and more attention.
Anne Hathaway, who has played a supervillain, Catwoman, posted about Bridger on her own Instagram, which made the story travel even wider. "I'm not an Avenger, but I know a superhero when I see one," she wrote in the caption. "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
