Héroe: Niño salva a su hermanita de ser atacada por el perro del vecino

Un  niño en Estados Unidos ayudó a su hermanita para evitar que fuera atacada por el perro de un vecino. El pequeño Bridger, de apenas seis años de edad, rescató a su hermanita, quien era atacada por la mascota. El menor se interpuso entre la niña y el perro, tras lo cual, el animal mordió al infante varias veces en el rostro. Después de ello, el pequeño tomó la mano de la hermanita, corrió con ella y la sacó de la zona, aseguró Nicole Walker, tía de los pequeños, quienes viven en la comunidad de Cheyenne, en el estado de Wyoming. Bridger debió ser atendido por médicos, quienes le hicieron casi 100 puntos de sutura en la cara, principalmente en la mejilla izquierda. Además, debido al ataque, estuvo casi a punto de perder un ojo, el cual quedó hinchado.

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

El menor relató a sus familiares lo que pensó al momento de ala agresión del perro: “Si alguien tenía que morir, pensé que debía ser yo”, de acuerdo con una publicación en Instagram que realizó la tía. Algunos usuarios de internet se preguntaron si podían hacer donaciones a la familia, a lo cual respondieron que en lugar de beneficiarlos a ellos, realicen donativos a dos organizaciones que ayudan a veteranos de la guerra.
