    As true and screwed up as that is, the homeless dude in the embedded preview has a dog. You ever try to get an apartment, with a dog, a big one at that?

    Not saying the dog doesn’t also deserve a forever home, but it really is complicated for a scraggly homeless fella with a big dog to be taken seriously almost anywhere.

    Everyone deserves some sort of decent shelter. Let me ask you folks, what would you do if a scraggly homeless person knocked on your door, and all he asked was for a sandwich, a bottle of water, a bath, and perhaps a beard trim?

    I’ve actually skipped work just to help a homeless guy get his beard trimmed. Bought him pizza too. Kinda hard to get anywhere in life when you look like shit.

    Be kind to the homeless, they just need a helping hand here and there.
