A father is being hailed as a hero for dumping his body on top of his son’s after the latter was thrown by a bull during a rodeo in Texas.

In a video posted last month, but which has recently gone viral, Cody Hooks is seen being knocked off the back of a bull during a rodeo in Belton, Texas, shortly after entering the bullfighting arena.

When the keepers fail to subdue the bull, he charges at Cody, but not before his father, Landis Hooks, lunged at his son’s body, covering his face and head with his yours.

Fortunately, the bull’s subsequent charge against the couple “could have been much worse,” according to Hooks, who shared the moving clip on his Instagram account:

Cody said in the caption that he was usually “not one to post fall pictures” but made an exception because of what happened in the arena.

“Thank you very much to my p apa @ hooks.landis and the bullfighters last night in Belton, Tx,” he wrote, adding the hashtag, “#blessed.”

The video has been viewed more than 137,000 times (and counting) since It was published on February 13.

“A father willing to give his life for his son! ❤️”, said a comment on the video.

“ That’s an amazing father you have!” said another user.

A third commented: “We’re glad you’re okay! Rest! 🙏🏼”.
