now logan was unlike other dogs and we're not just saying that because he's super cute because you can't tell by looking at him but medically speaking he's in serious trouble so when he arrived at a rescue in washington workers were certain the sick puppy was in need of hugs but he also desperately needed more help logan is a german shepherd and he's adorable you only have to look at him once for him to enchant you with his cuteness so how this pooch doesn't have a forever home is beyond us but fortunately he's not on the streets the rescue in washington where logan lived adored him like most rescues logan received a couple of routine checkups and that's when a horrible truth was revealed logan had stolen everyone's hearts but it was his own heart that was a big issue the folks at the rescue learned that logan had a serious heart defect but they didn't know what to do about it if there's one creature on this planet that doesn't deserve this heart condition it was logan he was young innocent and cute as can be this sick puppy needed hugs to cope with his prognosis and that's not all unfortunately the rescue that found him couldn't help but they knew who could so they sent him to rescued hearts northwest in ferndale washington they were like a beacon of hope they took logan to the vet for extra tests sadly the tests only confirmed the initial diagnosis the pup was in distress and his time was growing short with each passing day lindy sainz logan's foster caregiver was told that logan had only a month to a year to live the echocardiogram showed he had two faulty valves and the hopes of fixing them were slim logan's days were numbered but everyone stayed positive and helped him settle into his foster home with sands they couldn't believe how playful and spunky the pup was then the family came up with a great idea the sans family wanted to show logan the world before he died there was so little time and so much to do like going to the beach swimming playing in the snow and eating cheeseburgers and ice cream no matter where the family took logan people fell in love with him instantly he was such a sociable little pooch the love from strangers gave the sans kids a light bulb a moment they knew what logan needed most the sick puppy needed hugs lots of them and his foster family intended to get him at least 100 so with the help of the rescue logan's family and friends created an event named hugs for logan and spread the word throughout the community the family was overjoyed when they discovered that more than 200 people showed up to the event with their arms wide open and their hearts ready to give some much needed love to logan one couple had driven all the way from oregon just to give logan the tlc his little heart needed everyone in logan's life was overjoyed and grateful for all the people that were eager to give logan a hug but they had to make sure he was okay too logan's foster family gave him tons of breaks so he wasn't overwhelmed by the experience thankfully everyone understood and they waited patiently for their turn to share a one-on-one with logan and the pooch seemed to love it logan loved meeting his many admirers but his new friends were both happy to see him and sad at the same time they knew his condition was critical and they wanted to make him as happy and comfortable as they could but all hope was not lost the event inspired the sans family to add more to logan's bucket list but then a doctor reached out to them with a claim that was too good to be true and they were elated dr brian scanson of colorado state university veterinary teaching hospital sent rescued hearts northwest an optimistic email claiming he could fix logan's heart if they could get the pup to colorado they raised enough money to fly logan to colorado for the surgery on january 31st 2019 logan went under the knife everyone at csu was keeping their fingers crossed they could save logan but things didn't go the way they planned the medical team tried for hours but they couldn't get the catheter balloon to fix the defective valve this surgery was only going to buy logan the time he needed to have his open-heart surgery anyway but to do that the pup had to wait a few months for now logan's family friends and supporters are doing everything they can to keep him alive but that hasn't stopped the sans family from taking logan on tons of adventures across the country and there's still hope to date fundraising for logan has hit around forty five thousand dollars of its sixty thousand dollar target thanks to the puppies many kind and loving supporters meanwhile the pooch is doing really well and attending puppy kindergarten he goes once a week and is considered a star pupil logan loves playing in the snow he's already figured out how much fun it is to go up and down the stairs but his favorite pastime involves finding sticks and that's not the only new development in logan's life according to logan's gofundme page lindy sands is fostering logan with her family so essentially this lucky dog is loved and taken care of by many no wonder he seems to be in good spirits but he's still lacking something so far he's gained a little less than two pounds since he returned from colorado he currently weighs 22.11 pounds and is eating large breed puppy food he also gets tons of treats but it's still not enough logan needs to weigh anywhere from 40 to 50 pounds for now the best thing the rest of us can do is continue sending logan positive vibes and donations if possible so he'll grow strong enough in time for surgery hang in there logan we're rooting for you [Music] you
