Lasy year, Bridger received superhero status thanks to abrave deed he did for his little sister.
All of six years old, Bridger saved his younger sister from anattacking dog. His selfless actions won him a tremendous outpouring of love.

Bridger came between a dog and his sister and was bit by theanimal on his cheek and head. The little boy had to get 90 stitches at thehospital and the entire procedure took around 2 hours to finish.
The Walker siblings had gone over to a neighbour's house andone of their dogs came at Bridger's sister. Bridger jumped in between in orderto save his little sister. He later told his parents, "If someone had todie, I thought it should be me."

This little hero is now undergoing treatments for his scarsall because of a team of doctors who offered to treat him after they cameacross his heroic feat.

He is undergoing laser treatment with the help of Dr. DhavalBhanusali and Dr. Cory Maughan and the famous pimple popper- Dr. Sandra Lee forhis scars.
Dhaval Bhanusali told Daily Mail, "Every once in awhile, we come across patients who do more for us than we can ever do for them.Bridger inspired me and in a time where so much negativity was surrounding theworld, he provided hope and represented all that is good."

In October, Bridger had his second round of treatments withDr. Maughan in Utah, which is closer to where the Walkers live. This time, hewas treated with Candela Vbeam and Alma erbium lasers.???
