“The boy goes down so the girl goes free.”
These are the words, as Matt Chandler says in his series “A Beautiful Design” that we “know” are right. God’s design for men is made innately clear when we see, for example, actions such as the three heroes who died protecting their girlfriends at the Aurora movie theater shooting,.
Six-year-old Bridger saved his little sister’s life after he stood in between her and a charging dog, thus putting himself on the receiving end of vicious blows that resulted in some pretty gruesome injuries.
When asked why he acted the way he did, he said, “If someone was going to die, I thought it should be me.”
Bridger’s proud aunt Nicole has been posting about the ordeal on Instagram.
“His wounds are looking so much better! He’s in great spirits, and his awesome personality is intact,” she wrote in a recent update. “He can’t smile too widely yet, but he was grinning as I read some of your comments to him. I’d also like to mention here that the dog’s owners are really great people who have been nothing but kind to Bridger and his family. We feel no resentment toward them at all, and—
He’s had 90 stitches and is “finally resting at home” according to Nicole. She also tagged a few of Bridger’s favorite action heroes in hopes they’d be able to give the young hero a shout out.

Yeah, the shield is going to arrive a little late....
(Just kidding. Hat tips all around for the Kid and Cap...)
“Other articles reported it was a German Shepherd Mix.”
Yes, but “mix” is the wildcard.
Great story!
Gives me hope for the American male and the next generation.
“You either got it or you don’t. This kid has just got it.”
A bit of range time would have helped prevent him from being mauled...but, come to think of it, maybe wait a year or two.
I the dog had anything remotely resembling a pit in it, the media would have reported it as a pit bull mix - kind of the same way Elizabeth Warren is a Cherokee mix.
Wow. That’s some amazing mature statement for a six year old. Good husband material there in a couple decades.
My sister would have been in a LOT of trouble if this happened when we were kids.
Actually anyone besides my 87 year old mother would be in a lot of trouble now
Great story! That’s what my 9-year-old grandson would do for his 5-year-old sister. They’re extraordinarily close and loving too.
Wondrous ways serve to reaffirm my faith. Thank God for this little gentleman.
He is due a Presidential Medal of Freedom imho.
“I’d also like to mention here that the dog’s owners are really great people who have been nothing but kind to Bridger and his family. We feel no resentment toward them at all, and—if anything—there’s only been an increase of love between our families as a result of this incident.””
“at this point if they are under 12 my dogs are convinced they were put there to pet them.”
And. if they don’t feed them?
They can, but aren’t naturally.
We need to ensure he’s at the next SOTU.
I don’t use food because that can create problems. lots of petting belly rubs and ball throwing
