I totally agree with Amazonchix and SeeBee

I wish such programs were common here in the US. When I lived in NYC, I would encounter plenty of homeless folks with dogs. If they were sitting outside the grocery store, they'd often tell me what kind of dog food their dog liked and I'd pick up a few cans and bring it out to them. Otherwise they are using whatever money they can scrounge up to buy the food for the dogs themselves. For many of them, their dogs were their world.
