It was a picture that touched countless hearts across the world. An owner tenderly cradling his arthritic dog in the warm waters of a lake to lull him to sleep went viral and prompted a staggering outpouring of love.
The tale behind the snap – namely John Unger’s determination to ensure the comfort of Schoep, whose suffering meant he had trouble sleeping, melted hearts.

This is a most beautiful and touching story about a man and his best friend. If you don't mind shedding tears then you may want to take the time to read about them.
For this man, a picture is worth a thousand words -- so many of them kind. I am always pleasantly amazed by the total kindness of strangers. Makes me feel like I should be doing more.
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted....
Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.
