Chris Evans   lauded a six-year-old boy for  saving his little sister from an attacking dog.

The "Captain America" actor shared a special video message for a six-year-old real-life hero who saved his little sister from a dog attack and received injuries himself.

The story was shared on Twitter by Brandon Davis who said, "Bridger, 6 years old, saved his little sister from an attacking dog. He knew he would get hurt, but he did it anyway. He's a hero.

"So, we made this happen. One of the most fulfilling things, ever, huge thanks to Chris Evans. Spread love."

He also shared a video, which shows Evans delivering his message alongside Bridger – who is dressed in a Captain America outfit – and his younger sister watching and reacting to it.

"I'm sure you've heard a lot of this over the last couple of days but let me be the next one to tell you – pal, you're a hero," the actor said. "What you did was so brave and so selfless. Your sister is so lucky to have you as a big brother, your parents must be so proud of you."

The actor promises to send Bridger an "authentic Captain America shield" and tells him: "Keep being the man you are, we need people like you".

"I know recovery might be tough," he added, "but based on what I've seen, I don't think there's much that can slow you down."
