This story took place in Cheyenne, in the United States, last July 9, when he sees the dog rushing towards his little sister, he decides to intervene to rescue him. Unfortunately, the little guy was unlucky. Very aggressive, the dog bit him on the face several times.

"If someone were to die, I thought it should be me", tells the child to his family. Parents say they don't hold it against the dog's owners: "These are very good people who have always been nice to Bridger and his family. We are not angry at all against them. Our families have only appreciated each other more since the incident"says Nicole Walker, her aunt. One of the owners even intervened during the attack, to drive the animal away and shelter Bridger.

In the wake of Anna Hathaway, the interpreter of Catwoman, wrote her words of encouragement on Instagram : "I'm not an Avenger, but I recognize a superhero when I see one. I can only hope to be half as brave in my life as you are in yours, Bridger. I wish you a good recovery ".
