Homeless Dogs
Image from wvs
We’ve all seen (and passed judgement on) the homeless guy on the street with his dog. Many think it is terrible that a man or woman without a home should allow an animal to suffer with them.
Who Are We To Talk?
Considering the amount of animals at overfilled animal shelters and the number of cases of animal neglect and starvation we see every day, these dogs have it pretty good.
We’ve never seen a homeless person with an animal that was in particularly bad shape. In fact we imagine dogs represent the best friends some of these folks have ever had.
It’s not hard to imagine that the people and the animals that society doesn’t want anymore should find solace in each other. We are doubting that any of these people want to be on the streets, before passing judgement be sure to consider what it’s like to walk a mile in their shoes.
What’s Your Take?
This is bound to be a controversial topic, what do you think?
What wonderful people these are! Their dogs eat what they eat (“from their master’s table”) and their dogs are not lonely or abandoned during the day or night because their masters don’t leave to go to work, shopping or socialise.
These wonderful and beautiful people care for their dogs faithfully 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Now what kind of world would it be…if everyone were to love their dogs like this?
May God bless them all
yeah but these dogs i believe need a better home
but i do like how there masters care for them alot more than them selves at least
The point is that these dogs would not have found a better home; there are more dogs then there are people who want and can afford dogs. If they weren’t with these people they would just be strays.
You do not get to choose who you love or who loves you. Unconditional Love does not have a list of qualifications you must meet, nor boundaries or restrictions. Dogs don’t judge you for who your are, where you’ve been or what your potential is. They just accept. Animals are the Master Healers of the Soul. We should all be so lucky in this life to feel loved.
The other thing not noted here is that a night it gets REAL cold on the street, and having a dog to hug and get warmth from, really makes such a difference and actually saves lives.
Also another thing not noted here, is often it is the dogs who choose the human friend (don’t like the word master/owner)…the dog, most of the time, homeless beforehand (most of the time it was NOT the case that somebody became homeless and brought their dog onto the street with them) will start to follow the person, especially if they’ve given the dog a bit of their food…and thats often how the lifetime friendship occurs… to say these dogs need a home – i’m sorry – dogs cant build houses and so its not natural for them to be inside a house anyway…
But I guess life changes people. How America can allow this to go on is beyond me. I’ve learned to hate Republicans and Democrats equally, and how the people we send to Washington can ignore this while padding thier own pockets is simply unacceptable. We have the resources to end this, yet we choose not to. Dog or not, every being wants to be loved. Americans really suck. We keep telling ourselves we don’t and how we’re so great, but we’re really not. We’re very selfish and that needs to change.
This is very sweet. With the horrors countless dogs face in the homes of abusive owners, squalid kill shelters, or puppy mills, being a homeless person’s companion is hardly the worst thing that could happen to an animal.
It’s clear in many of the photos how much love these people and their animals share. Really beautiful.
I feel really badly for both of them, the owners and the pets. We should work with those who want help to get off the streets. I understand that some are into drugs and won’t stop right now. Others really did have bad luck, left abusive situations, or got mentally ill. That’s not their fault. It’s wrong to allow this to go on. And I actually have no problem with their having dogs. As pointed out, most of them are probably already homeless anyway. At least they find some love.
very deep. dog, the best friend of humanity!
um how much a shitcwe cast
A dog is a pack animal, so roaming the streets with a homeless person is probably very rewarding for them as well as the person. I would much rather see a dog on the street with a homeless person then penned or chained up in someones backyard never getting out. Every homeless person I ever encountered with a dog always seemed to cherish and love that animal more than anything.
I believe that animals are far better than we human beings specially when it comes to dogs!! we should learn fron them how to be faithful, honest and love unconditionally.when we are in bad phrase of life we realise that ppl around us starts to vanish but we will never find our dogs doing the same no matter what ever happens but they stay till the end with us. I SALUTE ‘THEM’.
A dog you see on the street with a homeless person is probably perfectly happy, well cared for, and most likely well satisfied with its life. Dogs have been bred for centuries to work alongside humans, and homeless dogs have important jobs to do, 24/7, right along with their human or humans. Just because a dog doesn’t have a plastic kennel to sleep in doesn’t mean it’s cold, unhappy, or unloved. Most homeless dogs I’ve met are much better behaved than domestic, at-home dogs – calm, patient, and watchful.
Isn’t it amazing how the love of God reaches every person…. through the love of a little animal, no matter who they are, or what their situation is?
that is soooo sad the people have friends or some body tom talk to i bet they keep them happy i hope they get a better home….
what i dont like about people is that they always say,”homeless people should get a job”,dont you people understand that most of them are homeless because they cant get a job anywhere,nobody wants to give them a job, but i do agree there is some people that are lazy to work but many of them try hard in life to have a good life but life betrades them,many of them have kids and a wife/husband but they go broke for some reason and their kids leave them and there wife/husband doenst want to be with him or her no more, and they end up in the streets.
About the dogs that so great that even if they berly have food,they share with mans best friend,they have their best friends with them,the ones that wont betraded them,the ones that will always be with you no matter what,dogs dont care if your ugly,pretty,rich,poor,if you have problems,you give them your heart and they will give you their’s. god bless this people.
well i think that u should not say “homeless dogs”!most homeless dogs are living in the U.S.A!!!!Won’u go o ut their and buy a dog!!!!!!they need homes .save the poor dogs!!!!!!!!……
I would like to start a foundation to help them but dont know were to start eney ideas???
Hi Zack,
Perhaps the best way you can help is by contributing or donating to a shelter or a charity that works with homeless people.
I WISH THERE WERE NO HOMELESS DOGS OR ANIMALS OR PPL!! YET WE COULD STILL HAVE NATURE…. WHEN I SAW THESE PICS I STARTED CRYING AND I STILL AM PLZ HELP…. ADOPT A HOMELESS ANIMAL.. DOG,CAT, ANYTHING JUST PLEASE HELP THE WORLD WE ALL DESERVE A WARM COZY BED, SOME FOOD, LOVE AND CARE, AND A GOOD LIFE PLZ HELP
I see all the pictures show healthy dogs. Look at the people thats moving and get rid of them like their gabage.They may not have a roof but you can tell they are truly loved.
