A 6-year-old boy being hailed as a hero after saving his sister from a dog attack got a message from Captain America himself.Chris Evans, the actor who plays Captain America, sent Bridger Walker a video — which the little boy watched while in his own Captain America.

Bridger and his younger sister were at a friend’s house when a dog charged at the little girl. Bridger said ‘I stepped to the side, in front of my sister so that the dog wouldn’t get her’.

Tragically, instead of running off, the dog leaped and latched onto Bridger’s cheek. After the dog released, Bridger ran to his sister and led her to a more secure part of the yard where he thought they would be safe.”

The story became a viral sensation when his aunt, Nicole Walker, posted a photo to Instagram and tagged a few celebrities including the avengers.

Bridger’s dad said they have received “tender, heartfelt messages” from Hugh Jackman, Zachary Levi, Tom Holland who invited him onto the set of ‘Spiderman 3’, Anne Hathaway, and Mark Ruffalo.

Bridger underwent a two-hour surgery that required 90 stitches, but his bravery never wavered. He told his dad, “If someone had to die, I thought it should be me.”

Chris said he will follow though on sending him that authentic Captain America shield, Bridger said after watching the video. His little sister said he can take the shield “wherever she go.”
