Now, at 19-years-old, Schoep has arthritis and has trouble sleeping, the Pioneer Press reports. Unger found that water is therapeutic for his pained buddy, so he takes Schoep into Lake Superior and lulls him to sleep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaNick Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Saw this on the news yesterday. Was sad watching the video they showed. He is living WAY past his time as well; probably because he has such a great life. They said he was blind from age too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 AWESOME! It's amazing how much compassion and love some people show towards animals/pets while others will go out of their way to abuse them. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Saw that story on the news the other night...Brought back a lot of emotions with losing our pup to lymphoma last April. Dog actually looked a lot like ours and moved just like him in his last days.Always inspirational when an animal becomes family, and the compassion and friendship it so readily gave it's people is returned.

tall_tracy Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 That's a great picture and story. I wouldn't hesitate to do whatever I could for my dogs, they have been through thick & thin with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 if its really in that much pain, its probably ready to go....seems like the case of an owner not being able to let go, even when its overdue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
