Despite being criticized, many homeless people own animals. It’s not a discussion about that. Only when a homeless person puts their pet in danger should the debate exist; most of the time they don’t. They go outside so that their pets can have a stable diet, stay warm and have adequate shelter.

Wilma Frice, of Houston, Texas, observed a person outside Walmart with a sign that said, “Dog in pound, need help.”

The sign broke her heart. Patrick, a homeless man, was there on his own asking for help. He did not ask for food or money for himself. He sought the help of his best friend, Franklin, who had been in the pound since he couldn’t raise $120 to release him.
Frice told People.com: “He seemed like a sweet, gentle soul who just happened to have a hard life. The look in his eye was desperation; he looked like a big kid who just lost his puppy.”
After receiving the money from Wilma, Patrick posted the following on Facebook. Her post said:

“I’m just so shocked he’s a wonderful man and Franklin is a wonderful dog. I did this because I wanted someone to do it for me. I’ve fostered homeless animals my whole life and dedicated my life to them, we could all be in his situation in an instant, and you never know someone’s situation or what’s going on in their life, so I’m not a very judgmental person, and I never judge someone by the cover of their book, before you have walked in their shoes you have no idea what anyone has been through you always have to pay it forward if you are able because like i said in a second you could be in the same situation i know how hard i fight every day just to to make sure animals have everything and will never end up on the streets again while they wait for their forever homes and I have been blessed in my life with unconditional love for all the homeless animals.”
