I read this article the other day that was really touching. It was about a man and his dog and the pain the dog was experiencing. The man, John Unger, found out that his dog, Schoep, had severe arthritis and may need to be put down. John had heard that water therapy helps people with this condition so he took Schoep to Lake Michigan and the two of them floated around to help relieve the pain of Schoeps arthritis. As the two of them are out floating in the lake, Schoep falls asleep on John.
Knowing that he may soon have to put Schoep down due to his condition John asked a photographer friend to come out and take pictures of them together just in case. The photographer took many shots of John and Schoep and posted the resulting pictures. They became an immediate sensation. The best part of the story is that so many donations have come in to John and Schoep that Schoep has been able to get the laser surgery necessary to help his arthritis. There have also been donations of medicine, treats, and other treatments to help Schoep along.

This story is a true testament to the power of having a pet. They really do get in your heart…even if the pet is not yours.
