A dedicated dog owner melted hearts all over the world after he was photographed soothing his arthritic dog Schoep to sleep in Lake Superior on September 25. So many people were touched by John Unger's canine compassion and donated thousands of dollars to help with Schoep's treatment. Instead of using the money towards his own dog, Unger created the Schoep Legacy Foundation to assist low-income families with aging pets.
