He’ll surprise everyone! (Video)

The vast majority of people who cross paths with a homeless person will not look twice. Between the two available options—ignoring or acknowledging—the former is easier, and so people do not question the alternative. When a homeless person shares his or her company with an animal, however, everything changes. Suddenly they demand second glances, because there is a dog, cat, or other pet who is “suffering,” too. Many place blame on these individuals for subjecting an innocent animal to their hardships.

Many people are so quick to judge when they see a homeless person with a dog, but that kind of snap judgement negates the power and beauty of these relationships. There are many positive effects associated with pet ownership, including improved physical and mental health. As such, many people consider pets an extension of family—some would argue that a home just isn’t a home without animals. People experiencing homelessness are no different.

7 Reasons Homeless people “deserve” to have dogs

1. Who are we to judge?
Finances don’t indicate who a person is, what they are capable of, how much love they deserve or where it should come from. Poverty is not a character trait. A struggling person deserves the same intimate connections as everyone else.

More importantly, having money doesn’t give us the right to make those decisions for others — doesn’t give us exclusive dominion over animals or children.

2. This is the world that we live in.
In this strange world we often see as many people living on the streets as those walking it. Alleviating problems that cause homelessness is a good goal. However, if these scenes are so commonplace; we might also accept the fact that they mirror our own lives.

Homeless people we live alongside deserve to live (as we all do) free from judgment. They are out there in plain sight, but that doesn’t mean they volunteered to be guests on a talk show; that we’re allowed to be the audience, sheepishly shaking our heads and mouthing our disapproval to the cameras.

3. People who love their dogs, find ways to care for them.

While it is true that homeless people may struggle to find food; in this country, people don’t generally die exclusively from diseases related to starvation. They are as tenacious about finding food for their dogs as they are for themselves. Likewise, they probably know ways to stay warm, and find good spots to snuggle.

When you love another being, you find a way to take care of them. You just do.

4. The need for companionship is just as important as the need for food or shelter

Taking care of others, reinforces our purpose for living, People may not die from loneliness, but in some ways, they can cease to exist if they truly cut themselves off from the world.

A person who has a dog to take care of and love is more apt to be healthier, to feel more a part of the world. Healthier people do not tend to be as much of a “threat” to other people.

5. Housing doesn’t mean that a person is good or bad.
It is possible that there are some people who are homeless and have mental illness that may cause them to neglect or abuse their dogs. There are plenty of people living in houses who do the same.

6. Homeless dogs are working dogs.
American homeless people deserve pets, because they are part of our culture. At the same time, those dogs earn their keep as guard dogs, therapy dogs and traveling companions.

7. Instead of criticizing, help.
If you are worried about a dog you see on the street, give his owner some dog food, or a couple of hamburgers. There are also organizations set up to help street dogs get vaccinations and food. One of these organizations is Pets of the Homeless.
