Owner John Unger posted a brief Facebook statement on Thursday, saying, "I breathe but I can't catch my breath...Schoep passed yesterday."

Your post has made me cry.

Our basset/yellow lab mix received chemo about six months ago for lymphoma. We found out two days ago it has come back with a vengeance and his time on earth is very limited.

I would easily trade ten years of my life to have him healthy and pain free.

My prayers for you and your pal, that God would comfort both of you during this time.
