Schoep and Unger

My favorite photo was taken by Hannah Stonehouse in 2012, who portrays the undisputed friendship between Men and dogs, in this photo we can see a man named Unger holding his dog named Schoep sleeping in his arms in the midle of a lake. Unge adopted Schoep when he was a puppy from an animal shelter. Schoep was a doggy suspicious human, because he was mistreated. So for Unger was very difficult and took many months trying to coming back in Schoep the human trust. After one year, Unger finished with his girlfriend then he fell into a deep depression,he tried to suicide in the Bakefield lake in Wisconsin, the same lake where was took the photo. When Unger was coming to the lake decided to suicide, Schoep looked him then Unger understood that he was wrong and they came back home together. Schoep does not sleep all night long and took care Unger, He was watching him every moment. Their friendship became inseparable.

When Schoep was 19 years old, Veterinarian tolds Unger that his dog was sick and suffered from arthritis. Shortly thereafter, the pains does not let to live Schoep confortable and were increasingly higher. So Unger decided to take his best friend at the lake every afternoon, because it´s making feel him better.  

I loved this photo because show us the incredible love that makes us feel the animals, the relationship that we can make with them and the things that we are able to do for them.
