You don't need to be an adult to be a hero.

11 year old Jean Fernandez who lives in Brazil was braver than most of us would be. He saw a dog get struck by a car and the driver just kept driving. Jean ran into traffic to save the wounded doggie and ended up stopping traffic to do so. Luckily, the whole thing we captured by a photographer so we can see the event.

Jean's mom said that he has a big heart for all animals and she's not surprised that he put his life on the line for the dog.

The dog is still in the care of veterinarians. However, it's expected to make a full recovery.
