As I write this I'm getting ready to kiss my beautiful 9 month old husky to sleep like I do every night. She is my world now. Me and my gf still miss our 16 year old girl we put down in January. Loving souls like John and beautiful scheop are the reasons no matter how bad or sad it gets you will smile again. I know schoep ,my girl and many other fur angels will guide us along with our living breathing ones. I myself could not survive in a world without dogs. God bless us all and continue to rescue all dogs.
John was incredibly fortunate to have shared unconditional love with a companion like Schoep. I couldn't watch it without crying, either. Thank you for sharing it.
To John.. I want you to know that Schoep was a very lucky boy to have you for his lifelong friend. You are one amazing human being for caring for him the way you did. If there were more people like you in this world we live in it would be a beautiful place.. My heart goes out to you. God bless you.
It would have been Schoep's birthday today. The world remembers you and your dad now and always. It was an honor to have been allowed to make this. May you be resting in peace and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
If only one person learns how to treat these precious wonderful creatures like this beautiful man did - then John Unger - your time with Schoep will multiply a thousandfold.....
Absolutely lovely tribute, (as I type with tears in my eyes) It was such a wonderful journey through their lives together... I remember the story from years ago with them✨✨... and just saw this post..and I must say this is very moving and heartfelt.❤❤Beautiful
Thank you so much for your kind words & encouragement! When I was married, I privately rescued, fostered & placed companion animals with new loving families. It was a very rewarding time in my life! I appreciate your artistic talent & compassion! I believe John & Schoep’s unique journey touched so many people around the world! Your beautiful video will add to their experience! I hope everyone who has come to love them will have the opportunity to see this poignant tribute! With Love, Dawn
Thank you for sharing you're story, Shoep is in Heaven like my loving best friends that have passed away I know your pain and every time you talk about him you will cry you'll never forget no matter how long it's been.
Thank you for your kind comment Caroline. If you read the description, he was not my pup and yet I still felt the pain. I am sorry you have lost. Abrazos, Jenny
What a wonderful and inspiring story of a man and his dog, I wish all 4 legged animals were so lucky, thanks John for being a great human being , may people learn from this story. God Bless
This has been the most beautiful video I have ever seen. You touched my heart in a deep place. So many tears. The greatest man and the greatest dog. You will meet again, that kind of love is unbreakable.
Koala Eucalyptus The words, pictures and emotions were so moving that I cried, not only for Shoep and his dad, but our recent loss of our lab Chloe. Lonely and happy tears. Beautifully done!
REDFOXThomas. I understand. When this video was first was made by me, there were die hard old vets who said they cried. I created it in celebration of unconditional love in however way someone wants to *hear* it. Crying is a good thing if you promise that in the end, those tears, were tears of joy. Your heart is in the right place! Hugs, Jenny
It took me a few minutes to dry my eyes to even write this. I miss my big man Kilby every day. John, we are all sure that Schoep is pleased. Thanks Jenny. All of my troubles just went away. Perry
Excelente video!! no solo expresa una perdida, sino el cambio que ese ser ha realizado sobre nosotros y nos aclara que siempre podemos contar con ese inofensivo e indefenso ser al cual se queda pequeño el termino ¡¡¡MEJOR AMIGO DEL HOMBRE!!... espero que todas las personas sean igual de afortunadas como John Unger y tengan un amigo para toda la vida como fue y va seguir siendo Shoep.
It took me a few minutes to dry my eyes to even write this. I miss my big man Kilby every day. John, we are all sure that Schoep is pleased. Thanks Jenny. All of my troubles just went away. Perry
I have a profound love for dogs and the connection we have with them. I BOOHOO'D and laughed (picture with the snow on Schoeps face) through the whole video. THANK YOU!!!
you two are so very lucky to have each other and to share the beautiful life you had. I am so sorry but, so glad for the wonderful gift you were given. love Julia
Hello John How are U doing been, a long time, even now watching U & Schoep I can't watch without crying GOD John U made us All Love Him without trying Ur a great man - Thank You
John is a great human being. Luckily I saw his story about his friendship with Shoep when it first went viral and it has stuck with me ever sense. I never considered myself a pet owner until I saw John and Shoep's journey, but it inspired me to get my first dog. I was so scared... Today I have a 2 year old blue heeler and he is the greatest and bestest friend you could ever have! I'm gonna do my best to make sure my Louie has the best 20th birthday ever
The love between John and Schoep is tangible and yes, we humans, are lucky to be loved in such pure way as dogs love us. Thank you for this poignant tribute.
John TY for tht reminds me of my Maggie I was holding her most of the nite she left me I'm 69 a rough old man & I'm balling TY FOR sharing ur 💘 for Shoep w/us
This video of John and Schoep is going to change the lives of humans and rescue dogs all over the world! What they had was truely special, and it is shown so beautifuly here. Thank you for making and sharing it.......GOD BLESS JOHN & SCHOEP
This is one of the truly beautiful love stories of our time. Thank you so much for allowing so many of us to see it. My heart goes out to John and I hope and pray that his grief will diminish so that he can share his boundless love with another who desperately needs it. Schoep would not want him to be alone and I'm sure he would want another furkid to know the joy of the most wonderful home in the world with the most wonderful human in the world.
TY Jennifer. John's life with Schoep has redefined the word "devotion" for me. He has inspired me to ask myself constantly have I done everything I could, each day, to make my life with my Precious the best it possibly can be. John seems like a very unpretentious person who never ask for the attention he received taking care of Schoep. I'm so happy that they had one extra year together...
What a beautiful gift, Jennifer. Not just to John, but to all of us that loved him for sharing such a special bond that can only be felt by those of us who are priviliged enough to have a Schoep in our life as well. Your time and effort for this beautiful video are appreciated.
Thank you for this beautiful tribute, Jennifer. Every time I think of Schoep and John I cry and this video made me smile and cry. My heart hurts for John. Run free Schoep and you'll see Daddy again at the Rainbow Bridge.
I think all of us following John and Schoep could not help but fall in love with both of these gentlemen. It is a most wonderful love story and this video is a remarkable tribute to the love story that we have all shared. My heart aches for the loss of Schoep but my spirit soars for having witnessed this greatest of love stories.
Thank you for creating such a beautiful tribute. We lost our precious little beagle hound in April after only 11 years and I miss her sweet being everyday. Needless to say, this video has me in a puddle. Thank you again
We so understand the special love and bond we have with our animal kiddies ... I had to say goodbye to a very special little one on Sunday as she passed peacefully in my arms ! She was in her 18th year and loved right to the very last breath. With each little one that leaves us, their unique paw prints are left behind in our home, and in our hearts. The past two years were very difficult but I did for her everything she needed, all on her terms. Not one regret ! xo
Just as every dog needs his forever person, every person needs that special being that can given unconditional love and devotion-no more perfect than a dog. What a blessing that John and Schoep found each other and could share that special bond. May every creature be so blessed. RIP, dear Schoep. You were loved. Many condolences, John. So hard to love such a beloved companion.
Thank you, Jennifer!! I kept stopping the video, so I could take in the very moving silent narration…lots of tears!! I was suppose to working on a college assignment but decided to watch another sweet tribute to Schoep & John. I wasn't prepared for this at all...took me 30 minutes to stop crying. Yours was the most touching tribute video I’ve seen so far! I remember those photographs well! They shared a special bond & love that I will never forget & it has imprinted on my heart forever!
I recently adopted an Australian Shepherd and I truly hope I can be as loving to Odie as John was to Schoep! I love this tribute to the two! I Would like to know how John is doing and for him to know how privileged I feel to have witnessed the love they both shared!
What a beautiful tribute. I only hope another beautiful little soul will find his way to John one day when the time is right. I am sure he is destined to always take care of a dog who needs help.
Jennifer- Thank you for this tribute to John and Schoep's devotion. Like others (and you!), I sobbed through your video but I find peace and consolation that you and so many care so deeply about others. I have never met John or Schoep but this love story has captured my heart. Thank you for taking the time to make this tribute.
My heart goes out for John. I know that feeling of losing a very good friend and 4-legged child! John, you gave him love, hope and friendship ... and he knew that - he loved you unconditionally! Take care and maybe it is time for another lost one to love?
Jennifer, Thank you so much for this moving and loving tribute. I am still grieving, so i cannot begin to imagine John's grief. They touched our souls and we all got to feel that wonderful love the two shared. I give this a 5 hankie for tears of love and joy.
Jennifer, this was so thoughtful and caring! Thank you for not only honoring Schoep and John but for giving all of us who followed their story something beautiful to remember.
two weeks later and I still cry when I watch your video Jennifer. I hope their love and respect for each other is an example for people who will watch your video
Cried so much!! =( Thank you so much, Jennifer, for uploading this video tribute to Schoep. And thank you John for taking such good care of him =) You two got to share 20 wonderful years together. Such a wonderful owner and such a wonderful pet, you are just two of a kind. Bless you!!
This has moved me to tears. Having lost so many beloved pets over the years....all of them dying at old age, I can truly relate to this video. The things I've had to do to make their lives comfortable...and I still AM doing it. Thank you Jenny for sharing this. They take a lot of time and effort, but the rewards live with you forever.
Touching. We have a large pack and can attest to the fact that they make a place in your heart if you only let them and they don't need a lot of time to do it. Some of the ones we take in are elderly or with health problems. We love them and try to bring back that spring to their step until they are ready to go over the Rainbow Bridge. Schoep is being a puppy again, with no pain and no worries, waiting for the time to be reunited with his friend and dad.
Thank you for making such an amazing tribute - no words can be said as even though we have a house full of rescued animal kids of all sorts - we so know the pain when one leaves us, and they are never forgotten. Each one of them left a different print on our hearts ..... this story, these two have sent the message world wide about just how precious unconditional love is and now there is yet another fur angel looking down with tail wagging saying, thank you for the years .... the love remains !
Tears, tears, tears and tissues. Beautiful video of a beautiful love story... missing the almost daily updates on this amazing pair! Thank you so much Jennifer... what a great choice of music. too.. Elton is such a master musician. Do upload your others... you have a talent that needs to be shared!
This was beautiful - really told a love story between a man and his dog. I sincerely hope there is a time when John will watch this because it is truly like a a love story and a thank you from Schoep. Hope John will one day find peace when he watches this.
I think my heart just broke a little bit more...This is just beautiful!! Bless you for making such a loving tribute to an incredible pair...Schoep is immortal and walks with John everyday...But thanks to you over and over his soul sails the world
Thank you for this video! My first two fur kids lived to the ages of 14 and 17. I'm sure they met Shoep as he crossed over the River Jordan and Dice is showing him the best sunny spots to nap in and Daisy Pig will show him all the best "all you can eat" places.
So beautiful and touching, thank you Jennifer for sharing it with all of us. I adore dogs and this history is the most beautiful history of love, compassion and friendship that I have known
John and Schoep had such an amazing love and bond.I have seen people saying since the 1st pic ever came out was that noone they know including themselves have that type of love and bond except John AND Schoep and I agree.Thank you so much for sharing this video.
yes i have seen pictures of them all over ,so happy to finally know the story behind them cried so much but makes my heart so big to know they had so much love
Some of the hardest things I had to go through was say goodbye to some of my dogs Even though this was about Schoep it still made me think of them. Thanks
There are no words for this story we all loved this sweet Angel. I am so sad for his loss this makes us all cry I can't even express the pain I feel. We need more love like this from people. I know I love like this with my Gulliver. You'll always be In my prayers what beautiful music and video. I am getting another Angel I want to love as much as I can they need us and we need them.
Thanks Jennifer for making this...It is simply amazing to see that everything John does with Schoep, he always has a smile on his face... I wonder if the meaning of life can be better explained than this...
Oh Jenny! I didnt mean to make you cry! What you have done is something that represents many animal lovers...You captured the very heart of how people feel about their pets mine included, Not only is this a wonderful gift to a loving man, Its a gift for all us furkid owners
Jennifer, I have never seen such a beautiful video before. I have followed Jon and Schoep since the first pictured emerged of them in the lake. I feel in love with both of them instantly just like millions more, but in my heart I felt like a friend to Jon. I could understand his trials in life and how God had matched up these two angels. Thank you so much for such a touching memorial to my "friends". May God Bless you and keep you strong.
As I write this I'm getting ready to kiss my beautiful 9 month old husky to sleep like I do every night. She is my world now. Me and my gf still miss our 16 year old girl we put down in January.

John was incredibly fortunate to have shared unconditional love with a companion like Schoep. I couldn't watch it without crying, either. Thank you for sharing it.
They both rescued eachother....it's that simple !!! Beautiful friendship that will last for ever.
To John.. I want you to know that Schoep was a very lucky boy to have you for his lifelong friend. You are one amazing human being for caring for him the way you did. If there were more people like you in this world we live in it would be a beautiful place.. My heart goes out to you. God bless you.
It would have been Schoep's birthday today. The world remembers you and your dad now and always. It was an honor to have been allowed to make this. May you be resting in peace and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
the time will come again when you and Dad are back together. I can not watch this without so many tears for the unbelievable love you shared.
Happy Birthday Dear Schoep!
I cried. Thank you for such an amazing video.
I miss my Toto a lot, and I miss him badly again today. I will always love them, my dearest kids.
I hope they were tears of joy HappiChan. You have a good heart. Toto knows he was loved and what a beautiful name. I wish you the very best:)! Jenny
Glad this is here forever
If only one person learns how to treat these precious wonderful creatures like this beautiful man did - then John Unger - your time with Schoep will multiply a thousandfold.....
Thanks Aims. You heart is in the right place. Abrazos, Jenny
If the world had half the love, it would be 100 times a better place
After six years i'm still watching to this heartbreaking story. I think i'll continuing to watch it.

Every time I watch this I cry like a baby. The story of Schoep and John is so very beautiful. John you truly where so very lucky as was Schoep.
Absolutely lovely tribute, (as I type with tears in my eyes) It was such a wonderful journey through their lives together... I remember the story from years ago with them✨✨... and just saw this post..and I must say this is very moving and heartfelt.❤❤Beautiful

John seems like a very unpretentious person who never ask for the attention he received taking care of Schoep. I'm so happy that they had one extra year together...
It really moves me when I see there's still some good people in the world.
Wonderful how beautiful friendship can be...
What a beautiful gift, Jennifer. Not just to John, but to all of us that loved him for sharing such a special bond that can only be felt by those of us who are priviliged enough to have a Schoep in our life as well. Your time and effort for this beautiful video are appreciated.
I have thought of you both so much since seeing you guy s in the lake. Thank you for giving me faith in people again. Didn't have much left.
Hey Jonathan.... so happy to hear you have faith again. Remember you have a good heart. Hugs, Jenny
thank you. We all loved Schoep and still love John so much. John will be so touched when he sees this. (wiping away tears.....)
Thank you for this beautiful tribute, Jennifer. Every time I think of Schoep and John I cry and this video made me smile and cry. My heart hurts for John. Run free Schoep and you'll see Daddy again at the Rainbow Bridge.
So wonderful, Can't help but cry. So emotional.....lol

"When the happiness of another is essential to our own". Thank You.
Thank you for giving voice to such a beautiful dog, and to a beautiful kinship. Every pet deserves someone like John in their lives.
Jennifer, this was so precious. Thank you for taking the time to honor the love between John and Shoep in such a beautiful way.
Absolutely beautiful tribute to the man and precious dog that touched so many hearts! I will always remember with great love Schoep and John!
Thank you for creating such a beautiful tribute. We lost our precious little beagle hound in April after only 11 years and I miss her sweet being everyday. Needless to say, this video has me in a puddle. Thank you again
it continues to amaze me that just a few words...some pictures...and a song put together can have such an emotional impact on so many people.

What a beautiful tribute. I only hope another beautiful little soul will find his way to John one day when the time is right.
I am sure he is destined to always take care of a dog who needs help.

Jennifer, beautiful job, every word touched my heart. RIP, Schoep. He will always be right there with you, John, remember that.
What a wonderful tribute, made me cry too. If only more people loved animals like John.
Jennifer, I looked again at this video. A simple but full of love and kindness. Happiness to you, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Jennifer, this was so thoughtful and caring! Thank you for not only honoring Schoep and John but for giving all of us who followed their story something beautiful to remember.
two weeks later and I still cry when I watch your video Jennifer. I hope their love and respect for each other is an example for people who will watch your video
Cried so much!! =( Thank you so much, Jennifer, for uploading this video tribute to Schoep. And thank you John for taking such good care of him =) You two got to share 20 wonderful years together. Such a wonderful owner and such a wonderful pet, you are just two of a kind. Bless you!!
Extraordinary man. I'm crying
This has moved me to tears. Having lost so many beloved pets over the years....all of them dying at old age, I can truly relate to this video. The things I've had to do to make their lives comfortable...and I still AM doing it. Thank you Jenny for sharing this.
They take a lot of time and effort, but the rewards live with you forever.
Touching. We have a large pack and can attest to the fact that they make a place in your heart if you only let them and they don't need a lot of time to do it.

There aren't words for how perfect this tribute is. The most beautiful thing I've seen this summer. How do you watch it without crying?
Thank you for making such an amazing tribute - no words can be said as even though we have a house full of rescued animal kids of all sorts - we so know the pain when one leaves us, and they are never forgotten. Each one of them left a different print on our hearts ..... this story, these two have sent the message world wide about just how precious unconditional love is and now there is yet another fur angel looking down with tail wagging saying, thank you for the years .... the love remains !
What a wonderful and fortunate dog. What a wonderful and fortunate man.
RIP, Schoep. Thoughts, John.
Tears, tears, tears and tissues. Beautiful video of a beautiful love story... missing the almost daily updates on this amazing pair! Thank you so much Jennifer... what a great choice of music. too.. Elton is such a master musician. Do upload your others... you have a talent that needs to be shared!
This was beautiful - really told a love story between a man and his dog. I sincerely hope there is a time when John will watch this because it is truly like a a love story and a thank you from Schoep. Hope John will one day find peace when he watches this.
such a beautiful story...
Yes. It inspired me Nikkie :)!
I think my heart just broke a little bit more...This is just beautiful!! Bless you for making such a loving tribute to an incredible pair...Schoep is immortal and walks with John everyday...But thanks to you over and over his soul sails the world
These are the stories from which the legends are woven.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a touching video and a great choice of music. R.I.P. Schoep... your daddy really loved you.
Simply beautiful. I've watched this many times. Brings tears to my eyes.
Yeah, I admit it. I cried throughout the video. It was beautiful. Hopefully, John will be able to see it, one day. His devotion to Schoep was amazing.
You showed what a great love there was; what a fitting trubute for both John and Schoep. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this video! My first two fur kids lived to the ages of 14 and 17. I'm sure they met Shoep as he crossed over the River Jordan and Dice is showing him the best sunny spots to nap in and Daisy Pig will show him all the best "all you can eat" places.
So beautiful and touching, thank you Jennifer for sharing it with all of us. I adore dogs and this history is the most beautiful history of love, compassion and friendship that I have known
John and Schoep had such an amazing love and bond.I have seen people saying since the 1st pic ever came out was that noone they know including themselves have that type of love and bond except John AND Schoep and I agree.Thank you so much for sharing this video.
This is just beautiful. A story of true, unconditional love.
Very nice tribute and touching memorial to both John and Schoep. Thank you for making it for them and sharing it with us.
Truly a Superior kind of love. 🥰
This made me cry to see such love between dog and man. Thank you for this video.
What a beautiful way to remember a wonderful friend. Outstanding!
You have made him the best life he deserves respect
yes i have seen pictures of them all over ,so happy to finally know the story behind them cried so much but makes my heart so big to know they had so much love
Absolutely beautiful. Sharing this to all who admire John and love Schoep.
Some of the hardest things I had to go through was say goodbye to some of my dogs
Even though this was about Schoep it still made me think of them. Thanks
This video was just absolutely beautiful. Couldn't keep the tears away.
So did I! So sweet! I have been following them since last summer! Thank you for making this I am sure John will love this!
There are no words for this story we all loved this sweet Angel. I am so sad for his loss this makes us all cry I can't even express the pain I feel. We need more love like this from people. I know I love like this with my Gulliver. You'll always be In my prayers what beautiful music and video. I am getting another Angel I want to love as much as I can they need us and we need them.
Thanks Jennifer for making this...It is simply amazing to see that everything John does with Schoep, he always has a smile on his face... I wonder if the meaning of life can be better explained than this...
damn john I'm crying like a baby I don't know you or didn't know your best friend but this video just tore me up I'm sorry I miss SCHOEP also
Oh Jenny! I didnt mean to make you cry! What you have done is something that represents many animal lovers...You captured the very heart of how people feel about their pets mine included, Not only is this a wonderful gift to a loving man, Its a gift for all us furkid owners
Very beautiful tribute. More tears.
Jennifer, I have never seen such a beautiful video before. I have followed Jon and Schoep since the first pictured emerged of them in the lake. I feel in love with both of them instantly just like millions more, but in my heart I felt like a friend to Jon. I could understand his trials in life and how God had matched up these two angels. Thank you so much for such a touching memorial to my "friends". May God Bless you and keep you strong.
