"If Someone Has to Die, It Should Be Me" 6-Year-Old American Boy Saves Sister from Fierce Dog Attack

[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-joo] A six-year-old boy in the United States became a topic of conversation after saving his four-year-old sister from being attacked by a German Shepherd, only to be seriously injured himself.

According to CNN on the 16th (local time), Brijer Walker, who lives in Wyoming, rushed in to save his sister when a German Shepherd lunged at her on the 9th. Instead, Brijer was severely bitten on the cheek by the fierce dog, underwent surgery for two hours, and received 90 stitches.

Brijer’s parents said in a statement, "When we asked Brijer why he jumped in, he said, 'If someone was going to die, I thought it should be me.'

Brijer’s aunt introduced her nephew’s story on Instagram and revealed that Brijer is a fan of the movie Avengers.

In response, actress Anne Hathaway posted a photo of Brijer and his sister on her Instagram, praising him by saying, "I’m not an Avenger, but I know who the real superhero is."

Hathaway added, "I wish I had half as much courage as Brijer. I hope Brijer recovers quickly."

Hathaway’s post received one million likes and thousands of comments praising Brijer.

Brijer’s parents said that many celebrities, including actors Mark Ruffalo and Hugh Jackman, have reached out, and added, "We hope that by following Brijer’s example and approaching the world with the innocence of a child, we can bring greater peace to our homes, communities, states, and nation."
