How one picture went viral and changed a life.

A really heartwarming story about John and his dog Schoep.
Schoep suffers from arthritis and John lulls him to sleep in the warm lake at night to ease his pain. After the picture was shown Schoep has received gifts and money from aroud the world that have enabled him to be pain free.
When this was taken he was two weeks from being put down.

When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple with a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves and satin candles, and say we've no money for butter.I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells and run my stick along the public railings and make up for the sobriety of my youth.I shall go out in my slippers in the rain and pick the flowers in other people's gardens. And learn to spit...

As a dog owner/lover...

This, brought tears to my eyes. It just takes that one glow of hope that makes you feel slightly better about the "whacked-out" world we live in.

This was heartwarming to me..... because usually I'm afraid of dogs I don't know.... but other times if the Dog is kind to me.... I'm not that afraid of it.
