| Amazingly that looks exactly like my dog...who was picked up on the street by the shelter when she was a pup. |

| I hate seeing that. If you can't even take care of yourself what are you doing making an animals life crap too? |

I don't think the message I was going for is that he's ruining the dog's life. I think I'm going for man's best friend. There for the highs and the lows, they're all each other has got. If anything, it evokes emotion. Sad though. |

Eh, this chokes me up more than someone malnourishing a dog:

I remember when that pictures sowed up on the intertubes about a year ago. It was linked to on digg to a flicker account and eventually one of the posts on the page was from the man's mother asking for the guys location. Apparently he had some mental issues and ran away from hom a year or so prior. I know he was from/in Canada.
The first version I saw was B&W. The post by the parent made me sad. ------------- 
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos. |

You know with a cute dog like that, that guy will have no problem making $200 an hour right?

Choop that dog was probably as much of a transient as the man is, and I'll bet my last dollar that it eats better with the bum than it would have on its own. That animal is probably a thousand times better off with this guy. ------------- ? |

1) People see homeless guy with cute dog 2) People want to help dog 3) People give money 4) ... 5) ... 6) Profit No joke, it's the same effect as the guys who hold signs saying: "why lie, I need money for beer/pot". The good ones are capable of making more than you. ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

Yeah their life looks so good compared to mine. I think I'm going to quit school now, get a dog and be a bum while it's still lucrative to do so.

He's right Benji, if he's got a good location and approach, he's probably making a decent amount. |
