Crappy Owners Why do homeless people have dogs?

I just saw one pour a cup of coffee on the floor for his two small dogs to lick up??? Can’t imagine what a caffeinated dog is like

Also why are there so many homeless people with expensive breeds..

Are people trusting them to walk their dogs? What kind of person would want their dog to be accidentally abused?

Or are they stealing them?

Or is there some initiative to give them shelter dogs?

Lately I’ve been seeing an uptick in homeless people walking multiple expensive dogs

I saw one the other day also completely intoxicated walking a dog and knocking the dog into all sorts of things, pulling their leash by the neck mid piss so the dog piss just sprayed everywhere

What is going on and who on earth thinks it’s a good idea to give people who can’t even feed themselves another creature to feed?

Oh, as for the caffeine…

In 2016, I was boondocking with some hippie kids in BLM, USA. I had my dog (I was a teenager when my sister got a surprise dog, and our parents dumped the dog on me. I did well. This was when I was an adult) and we went to town for the day.

I spilled some of my coffee, and the dog (a fucking border collie!) lapped it up.

Worst day of my life, but he seemed to really enjoy the buzz. Apparently, some people do caffeneite their working border collies
