Several Avengers offered well wishes to Bridger after the dog attack left him with 90 stitches on his face. Tom Holland invited Bridger to the Spider-Man film set, and he really followed through with his invitation. 

Bridger visited the sets where Spider-Man: No Way Home was being filmed. There Holland arranged an unforgettable experience for Bridger and his family, including a tour of the movie set and a chance to try web-slinging.

Bridger's Dad, Robert Walker shared some pictures of his son's "dream-come-true adventure" on Instagram.

He also shared a video of his son enjoying web-slinging with Spiderman.

Bridger took the brunt of the German Shepherd attack. Bridger is currently being treated by his father and his dad has been documenting his recovery on Instagram. After his injuries, Bridger was left with a facial scar. The reason he jumped into action was that he believed "if anyone had to do it, it should be me."
