There is a youtube video that shows an actor offering homeless people big money for their dogs and every single one of them refuse and make comments like, "no money in the world would make me consider selling my dog" and "I wouldn't want to live without my special friend".

Over the Xmas period I've been involved with assisting the homeless and I know with absolute certainty that there are homeless people on the street with dogs. Night shelters rarely accept these animals and so dog owners are more likely to sleep rough over a warm bed for the night.

I don't think its cruel. Wild animals sleep outside huddled up together so why not a dog and a human. I've never seen a skinny homeless dog yet but I have seen skinny owners.

I think so. Loving dog owners protect their dogs the same way they would protect their children so if that means food for me or food for the dog, the dogs going to get the food

I was reading something recently about why dogs and humans can get so attached. They did a scientific experiment with scanning equipment and discovered the hormone spike we produce when looking our baby in the eyes is identically produced when we look our dog in the eyes. The most interesting part was, when a dog looks in its owners eyes it has the exact same hormone spike. Surely this means a dog feels love?
