I think it's ok, I'm not sure if this is true but someone once told me that homeless people with dogs get given either money or food for the dogs, and I know people will say 'well they'll probably just spend it on themselves', but I don't know if I'd agree that that's necessarily the case. Obviously this is talking about genuine homeless people and not scammers. I think for a homeless person to have a companion and something to care for and love is a great thing so I wouldn't want to take that away from them.

I would be more inclined to give to a homeless person with an animal as well

Well there was a young guy in reading two weeks ago that was just setting up ready for his scam, all his clothes were clean had a little dog that looked like it just come the groomers.

Dogs in general are used by the homeless as a prop to pull on peoples heart strings, they must be a nice person, they have a dog!.
Homeless peoples dogs are in general well fed,because people give it food but do these animals get taken to the vets when they are ill, I would say no

Children are cared for by heroin addicts and alchaholics, this world needs a shake up.
If people are homeless through drink or drugs give them a home in return for getting help and staying clean.
