Last week, a boy named Bridger has gone viral across social media about his heroic action where he is protecting his little sister from a dog attack.
Because of his action, Hollywood actor, Chris Evans who played as Captain America in the Avengers film sends a very special message towards the real-life superhero.
“Pal, you’re a hero, 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,” said Evans in a special message video to Bridger.
The video was shared by Nikki Walker, Bridger’s aunt who previously reached out to the Avengers team.
“Conversation with Captain America. There are no words. We are so, so thankful,” said Nikki.
Interestingly, it is said that Evans also sends Bridger a real Captain America’s shield, claiming that the boy deserves it.
“Keep being the man you are, we need people like you,” he said.
“Hang in there, I know recovery might be tough, but based on what I’ve seen, I don’t think there’s much that can slow you down,” added Evans.
Bridger previously saved his sister’s life on July 9 by standing between her and a charging dog. He then had to receive around 90 stitches after getting bitten by the dog.
