World Animal Awareness Society is a non profit organization whose mission is to observe, document and produce filmed programs about human – animal interactions in hopes that their films will help humans respect and take care of animals properly.

One of their programs, the American Strays Project, documented the alarming number of strays in the United States. In one of their encounters, they were able to film a homeless dog carrying his bowl around asking for food . And it’s one of the most heartbreaking moments we’ve ever seen. Check out the video below.

If this dog appeared on your doorstep, what would you do?

The good news is that all the dogs filmed were picked up and rescued. Including the dog carrying the bowl. But there are more stray dogs out there who need our help.
