Schoep, The Dog Whose Internet Photo Touched Millions, Dies

In August of 2012, this photograph of John Unger and his dog Schoep sharing a moment in the waters of Lake Superior captured the hearts of millions. Unger would take Schoep into the lake every evening to ease the pain of his severe arthritis. Thousands soon donated to Schoep’s treatment which allowed Unger to have a little more time with a dog that changed his life. Schoep turned 20 on June 15th, he died 26 days later. On Thursday, Schoep and John’s official Facebook page posted a picture of a paw in the sand, the caption read, ‘I Breathe But I Can’t Catch My Breath… Schoep passed yesterday.. more information in the days ahead’.
