The family had told Logan they were heading north from their home in Hudsonville, Michigan, to collect a puppy, but he had no idea it was really for him. Logan had always wanted a dog of his own, but his dad Joe’s allergy to them meant he was never able to keep one in the house. His father had been. Battling multiple myeloma cancer for nine years when he sadly passed away on January 8, 2020, aged 47. Despite the family’s devastation at the news, they enacted a plan Joe had secretly hatched with his wife Melanie to gift Logan a puppy whenever he died. With the help of Jon, they located a healthy Boston Terrier, and so a few days later on January 13, Logan’s 13th birthday, they took a drive north to collect it. As they pulled into a gas station on the way back, they told Logan – who was still none the wiser - they wanted a picture of him holding the puppy.

Dad wanted you to have a puppy.” An emotional Logan can’t fight back the tears as he sobs, asking “really?” while hugging his new best friend, who he later named Indy.
