according to Nikki Walker, the young lad placed himself between his sister and a dog that was trying to attack her. He got bitten on the face multiple times but he made sure his sister wasn’t harmed and he managed to get her home safely.

Chris Evans has now sent out a video to the young lad, commending him for his heroic feat.

“I’m sure you’ve heard a lot about this over the last few days, but let me be the next one to tell you—pal, you’re a hero,” Evans told Walker. “What you did was so brave, so selfless. Your sister is so lucky to have you as a big brother. Your parents must be so proud of you.”

The Avengers star also added that to celebrate the moment, he will personally send Walker an authentic Captain America shield, because “pal, you deserve it.”
