Most little boys want a dog at some point in their lives. Logan Kavaluskis was no exception to the rule. Logan, who is 13-years-old and lives with his family in Hudsonville, Michigan,  has always loved dogs.

While Logan had always wanted to have a puppy, his dad Joe's allergies made it impossible for that dream to become a reality. When Joe eventually passed away in January this year from myeloma cancer, Logan received a gift his dad had planned ahead for him: a puppy.

Logan’s dad, Joe, discovered that he had myeloma cancer when Logan was only about 4-years-old, reports the Daily Mail. Despite the troubling diagnosis, Joe continued to fight hard for his life and managed to survive for nine years.

While his family was heartbroken at his passing in January 2020, they were glad they got to have Joe in their lives for as long as possible and fondly remember all the wonderful things that they did together.

But before Joe passed away at the age of 47, he decided that he would do something special for his son. He and his wife, Melanie, teamed up to make it possible for Logan to see one of his biggest dreams come true.

Logan and his cousin Jon were traveling in Jon’s car when the sweet moment occurs. Jon turns around so that he can reach into the back of the car and shocks Logan by pulling out a sweet Boston Terrier puppy. When Jon hands it to Logan, the little boy thinks that it’s a puppy that they’re going to deliver to someone else.

Then Jon decides that it’s time to reveal the truth. He told Logan that the puppy was a birthday present, and not just any present. Jon said, “That’s from your dad. That’s your dog.” Even in his last moments, Joe had thought of his son and wanted to make sure that Logan was able to get the puppy that he had always wanted.

Logan stares at his cousin, hardly able to believe what he is hearing as he asks, “Really?” When reality sets in, he begins to sob. The emotional moment was simply more than he could handle.

Thankfully, the entire event was captured on video, making it possible to watch this boy’s sweet reaction to his father’s last gift.
