Hero brother who saved sister in dog attack says he’s ‘proud’ of his scar

A 7-year-old boy hailed as a hero last year when he risked his life to protect his younger sister from a brutal dog attack is “proud” of his facial scars and doesn’t see himself as special, according to his father.

Little Bridger Walker of Cheyenne, Wyo., needed 90 stitches for the damage to his face after he jumped in front of his younger sister to save her from being attacked by a German Shepherd. He’s since undergone multiple procedures, some pro bono, since then on his face, which has reduced the scarring. At the time, he explained his actions by saying, “If someone had to die, I thought it should be me.”
