WYOMING — On July 9, a six-year-old Cheyenne boy, Bridger Walker, saved his little sister’s life by standing between her and a charging dog. The heartfelt story quickly went viral on social media after his aunt, Nikki Walker, posted about the event on Instagram.

“After getting bit several times on the face and head, he grabbed his sister’s hand and ran with her to keep her safe,” Nikki said in her post. He required 90 stitches to his left cheek and is still recovering.

Nikki mentioned that the dog’s owners are “really great people who have been nothing but kind to Bridger and his family.”

“If someone had to die, I thought it should be me,” Bridger said after the incident according to Nikki.
