Schoep has died
I've been following this story of Schoep & John Unger.
"John Unger and his elderly dog, Schoep, became Internet celebrities last summer because of Bayfield, Wis., photographer Hannah Hudson's photograph of the pair in the waters of Lake Superior. Unger took Schoep into the lake regularly to ease the discomfort of the dog's arthritis.
People from Texas to Japan to Slovakia gave money to help pay Schoep's veterinary bills, medications and laser treatments. It gave the faithful companions another year together.
Schoep turned 20 on June 15. He died 26 days later. On Thursday, a photo of a paw print in the sand was posted on the Official Fan Page of Schoep and John on Facebook. The caption read:
I Breathe But I Can't Catch My Breath ...
Schoep passed yesterday
more information in the days ahead
