A young boy in Wyoming, USA has been hailed for his courage in battling a wild dog to protect his sister.

The boy, whose picture had gone viral after his aunt shared his heroic tale, claims that it was not the place of his sister to die that day, which is why he took on the attack to keep the dog from having his sister.

“If Someone Was Going To Die, I Thought It Should Be Me” he said before leaving the hospital to his house. His aunt has petitioned the producers of the popular movie “Avengers” to include his nephew because of his heroic display.
