What are your thoughts on this?

On one hand it's nice that the guy has a companion, but at the same time it's sad to see some of those dogs in the shape they are in.

They can eventually eat the dog.

I tend not to have sympathy for homeless people. Sure, some people get themselves into f***ed up positions that may not be entirely their fault, but uhhh 95% it's their fault, whether it be going down a bad path(drugs, alcohol, gambling addictions, w.e), bad money management, bad deals, or w.e.

I mean, why are they taking care of an animal, if they can't even take care of themselves.

And I'm not one of those people that values dog life over human life, it's just seeing a homeless dude trying to get a ride somewhere on the highway, while his dogs is skin and bones essentially laying dead on the hot pavement seems kinda messed up.

Companionship. The homeless probably don't have many friends and when you have pretty much nothing to live for you probably value a small glint of personal enjoyment over the life of an animal.

I've seen homeless people that care more about their dogs than they do themselves. Like, they'll make sure their dog eats before them. And I imagine the dogs would most likely be strays anyway, and if they're not puppies, they'd likely go unadopted if they were taken to shelters. Honestly, those seem like some of the most loyal dogs, too. They're not on leashes, they're not being forced to stay with that person, but they do anyway.

I've actually spent the night with many homeless people (at a homeless shelter). They really aren't bad people...

You're right the dog should join the legion of strays in any given city and have no one love or care for them

Great idea

You know, you can say you don't kill people.

But when you shoot guys in the face with a shotgun

You kill people.

That's basically this topic.

The ONLY reason this happens is because many cities give you extra food stamps or whatever if you have a dog. Yet another problem entirely caused by government.

You do know that roughly 1/3 of the homeless population of the U.S. has schizophrenia, right?

Really, SmartMuffin? I'll say this, though. There are TONS of homeless that don't take advantage of their eligibility for food stamps or medicaid.

Wait, I misquoted.

And now I forget what I was getting at.

Carry on.

You don't understand guys. Homeless people usually have a story to tell.

dogs cant get paying jobs sadly.

Which sucks because they're more useful to society than most of the homeless I see every day
