On the surface, it may not look like a 12-year-old boy and a firefighter would have much in common.
But this heartwarming video showed Logan, a 12-year-old boy from Gilbert, and Mase Mattingly, a Gilbert firefighter, bonding over their shared prosthetic legs.
Candy Carson, Logan’s mom, said in the video that five years ago, Logan had strep throat, which sent him into septic shock.
Logan spent six months in the hospital, Carson said, which caused him to lose his right lower leg, a couple of fingers, his right eye and had skin grafting all over his body.
He then suffered kidney failure and had to get a transplant two years ago, Carson said.
“So he’s gone through quite a lot,” Carson said in the video.
