They never live as long as we want them too. One of the saddest days of my life was having to put down my family dog. He was my little buddy for 16 years of my life. I took it for granted that he would just always be there jumping around happy to see me, ready to go on our walks and play. The day I came home and he could hardly even lift his head up to see me I just knew it was his time. They say loosing a pet is almost harder than loosing a human. I have 3 dogs now, the oldest will be 9 this year and I dread the day one of them will go. Life without a dog to me is not a life I want, there will always be a dog or dogs in my life.

I love my dogs, definitely a strong bond. Couldn't live without my pups. They're always happy to see me, no matter what. It's always nice to have your dogs greet you at the door after a shitty day at work. They could care less what you look like, all they want is a good home, plenty of belly scratching, and love.

John Unger with Schoep in Lake Superior (Hannah Stonehouse Hudson/StonehousePhoto.com/Facebook) A photograph of a man wading in Lake Superior with his 19-year-old arthritic dog captured the hearts of millions when it was posted online last month--an outpouring that inspired the dog's owner to launch a foundation to help low-income families care for their aging canines.
John Unger says Schoep's Legacy Foundation has raised more than $25,000 since Unger and his dog, Schoep, were photographed by a friend, who posted the image to Facebook.
Before the photo was taken, Unger and his veterinarian had been considering putting Schoep down.
"Without treatment, John and I were talking about euthanasia at the end of July," Erik Haukass, the vet, told the Daily Mail. But through the unsolicited donations from people who saw the photo, Unger was able to treat Schoep and extend his life.
"Schoep is doing incredible right now," Unger said. 'The therapies that the people have donated--it's like turning back the clock a year and a half."
The foundation was created, Haukass added, when the pair "realized we had received more money than we would reasonably spend on Schoep's care."
"It could help another 30 or 40 Schoeps," Haukass said.
The "Official Fan Page of Schoep and John" has more than 20,000 "likes," and Hudson has been selling prints of the photo to benefit the cause.
"This 19-year-old [Schoep is] being cradled in his father's arms last night in Lake Superior," Hannah Stonehouse Hudson, the photographer, wrote in the Facebook post that sparked the outpouring. "Schoep falls asleep every night when he is carried into the lake. The buoyancy of the water soothes his arthritic bones. Lake Superior is very warm right now, so the temperature of the water is perfect. I was so happy I got to capture this moment for John. By the way, John rescued Schoep as an 8-month-old puppy, and he's been by his side through many adventures."
Hudson, a professional photographer, told the Pioneer Press that business is booming since the photo of Unger and Schoep was published--so much so that she recently hired her first employee plus an intern.
"I would say a 30 percent increase in shoots," Hudson said. "Who knew a favor to a friend would turn into this? It's completely surreal."
Because of the public's generosity, Schoep has been getting expensive joint laser treatments to reduce pain and swelling related to arthritis.
"He's walking so much faster," the 49-year-old Unger said. "It's unbelievable."

I love my two remaining german shepherds more than anything. We used to have four dogs, but one was killed (two of our females started fighting for dominance out of the blue after 4 years of being together) and we had to give the one who attacked her away to another family. She died just this year of natural causes, still makes me sad though even though I haven't seen her in a while. My third female Erhin is just one year younger than I am (shes 17 now) and we can tell its coming to her time. We have her on 4 pills a day, two different kinds in the morning, and the same two at night. This is helping her with her hips. The funny thing is, shes much more energetic than my younger male shepherd Yuri, and loves to play and run despite sometimes her running, is just using her front legs while she drags her butt, which I admit is really sad but I do laugh sometimes because she doesn't seem to give a damn at all! Once in a while we get a scare where we don't think she'll make it, and on those nights I sleep with her on the floor because I've known her my entire life and it kills me to think of her leaving us.
Thats Yuri in the front and Erhin in the back

"Seamus Dog"....saved a guys life once. Bloke was "asleep" by the fire at a festival all on his own. Seamus kept on picking up a rock and dropping it on his head until he woke up.
Turned out he'd been overdosing. I didn't find out 'til the bloke told me about a year later...
A bit like dogs detecting cancers, Seamus was the only one who knew what was going on. But, looking back, that was quite often the case in the 14 years we spent together!
Cool thread...warmed me up some...
