A little boy, Bridger Walker, recently saved his sister from a dog attack. When asked why he did it his answer was If someone is gonna die it should be me, not her"He is 6!! So, let's send him some love. He likes "cool rocks". Let's all send him some tumbles!

Great story about six year-old boy that saves his sister's life from dog attack: www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/6-year-old-hero-saves-his-sister-from-charging-dog-photos/
Not going to post any of the photos, you can see them on that link.
What a brave little boy.
I don't do any of the social media crap, but for those of you that do, it would be great if you could post rock photos to his aunt's Instagram nicolenoelwalker Nikki Walker page for him. Y'all ought to be able to come up with a few of them, ya think?
ETA - Looks like NRG posted this a few minutes before me. That's okay, more for Bridger! But seriously, wondering what his mom will do when he asked for photos of cool rocks, and people start sending him rocks... Will probably make him happy.

Thank you so much for posting this! My wife just about cried when she saw the pictures...I got choked up reading they didn't want any GoFundMe funds going to them, rather to send it to the Wounded Warrior Project or Mission 22 - both of which are dear to my heart.

Oh my GOODNESS!!!! He knows not what he asks for. I'll be getting a box together for him. What a little hero. A little girl couldn't ask for a better big brother.
ETA- Just got a box together. I hope he gets everything he wants. I know kids love dino anything. I put some dino bone in there, but I'm sure someone will send a death plate. That would be cool.

I think I will give this like-minded little guy the treatment I would like myself, and not send him anything. Lord knows every rockhound on earth is sending him something, so I will delight in lessening his burden.
I have confronted dogs before for others... Never needed 90 stitches so I feel lucky. The little dude makes me proud! He has a great reason to be proud of the scars

I got a really nice personalized note from Bridger's family today. That was totally unexpected! They said he thought it was cool his story was on a rock site and he can't wait to check it out.
