I saw that photo some time back when it first went viral. It is an extraordinary portrayal of man and his best friend. It tugs at your heart. It's good to know that Schoep is doing better though and that a fund has been set up to help others.
Yeah I also saw this when it first went out, it's an awesome story & made me cry when I read it, it's excellent to know that Schoep is doing better & other good has come out of all this!
