This incredible human being brings his 19 year old dog to the lake everyday, to give him couple hours of sleep and sweet dreams. Shep can not sleep - he suffers from chronic arthritis. The joints hurt so much that the animal could barely pull on its hind legs.
To save the animal from its torments, veterinarians offer to give it a lethal injection. However, the owner
he can not do that to his friend who saved him from suicide in the past.
And now, to ease the pain of his four-legged friend, the man carries him to the lake and holds him in his arms for several hours so that he can sleep.
Words cannot express this. When you give love, it comes back to you ten times over.
"I want people to remember that when they see these shots," said Shep's owner, John Enger.

Misty-eyed here. This is beautiful.
Dogs are better than most people. Shep is a very lucky dog.
What a feel-good story to start the weekend with!
True love and devotion.

Sue - totally agree.
Bill - People should be more like John Enger to other people.
Kathy - This will help you forget about the rain that's going to pummle us.
Deb - Yes, indeed.
Mark - At least ten times.
I saw this 10yrs ago I think. Then again I could be very wrong. Who wouldn't do this for their dog? I know I would. The dog lived a long time too, so he gave Shep a good lifeš„°
Peg - I'm surprised it hasn't resurfaced sooner.
This is so sweet! and I know Shep appreciates the effort made by John.
River - Absolutely.
