We came across this article a little while ago and wanted to share it as we thought it was so incredible: http://www.lifewithdogs.tv/2012/05/homeless-with-dog-man-refuses-shelter/. The article contains a great story about a man who went for a bike ride and ended up chatting with a homeless person with a german shepherd while on his ride. The homeless man cheerily talked to the author discussing how he had a job until a back problem that led to painful spasms made it so he had to be hospitalized. He could not find another job that did not require use of his back, but he loves his dog Hope so much that he is willing to be homeless for the rest of Hope’s life (he estimates 6 years). He could sleep in shelters, but, as shelters don’t take dogs and he has not been able to find a job that will allow him to make enough money to rent a home or that allows him to bring his dog with him, he has determined he would rather be homeless than give up Hope. We hope someone in the area read this article and reached out to him with a job opportunity-that kind of loyalty is not easy to find these days. Life is tough and having a bond like he has with Hope is one of the amazing gifts this world has to offer.
