Bridger: The young HERO

The photo may be tough to see, but the story behind it is nothing short of greatness.

On July 9th, this 6-yr-old boy, 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 or so stitches from a skilled plastic surgeon, he's finally resting at home.

This act of bravely is a depiction of a real-life superhero that everyone should know about.

"Please share my Bridger's act of bravery so that it gets as much exposure as it can. We know that this little hero would love some words of encouragement.
