A three-year-old boy is being hailed as a hero after saving his grandmother, who was injured after falling, at a home in Colorado, USA.
In an interview with People magazine, Sharon Lewis says she went to pick up her grandson Bridger Peabody because her parents needed to go to the hospital with their eldest daughter.
As she was preparing to leave the house with the boy, the woman fell in the backyard and hit her head on a cement step.
Sharon started bleeding from her head and the boy realized it could be serious.
Sharon and Bridger noticed that a neighbor had her lights on and decided to shout for help, but no one heard them.
It was then that the boy was tasked with an important task: going to his grandmother's car to get her phone.
"But it's dark and I'm scared, Grandma," Sharon recalled, who later told her the following: "You're going to be brave and Jesus will be by your side."
"I did it Gigi," shouted the boy, excited to have overcome his fear and accomplished the mission his grandmother had given him.
With the phone in hand, the elderly woman was able to alert other family members and ask for help. An ambulance ended up going to the residence and the woman was taken to the hospital.
Bridger's mother only realized something was wrong when she looked at her app with access to the home's video surveillance cameras and saw that there was an ambulance parked at her door.
For the grandmother, things could have been different if it weren't for the help of her grandson, whom she now calls her hero.
"I call him a hero but he says to me, 'No, I'm Bridger.' I don't think he realizes what a hero is yet, but he definitely is one."
