A young boy in Hudsonville, Michigan, got the sweetest surprise from his father who passed away just days before he turned 13.
When Logan Kavaluskis lost his dad to cancer he and his family were devastated.
Before his death, Logan’s father, Joe, had always known his son wanted a dog, but since he was severely allergic to them, it was not an option.
However, Joe made arrangements to surprise Logan with the one thing he knew would give him comfort following his passing, according to the video’s description on YouTube.
In the video, Logan was handed a brown and white Boston terrier puppy whom he thought was for his cousin Jon.
“That’s from your dad; that’s your dog,” Jon told him as the young boy looked up in disbelief.
“Really?” he said, cradling the pup in his arms.
“He’s yours,” his cousin said as tears began to fill Logan’s eyes.
Following his birthday surprise, Logan named his new best friend Indy and said he was the best gift his father ever gave him.
His mom, Melanie, is grateful for her husband’s gift because having a puppy in the house has made their home feel a little lighter during such a difficult time.
Joe’s obituary read — “Joe was an amazing husband and father who also had a passion for football. His ability to provide blinking lights and gadgets for every celebration was legendary. He will be dearly missed by his family and all who knew him.”
