Walking along a city street, it’s impossible to escape the always-growing population of homeless individuals asking for any help you can spare.

Many of us close our hearts to their plight and go about our day without a second thought. Even worse, some of us judge them with harsh disregard for the fact that they are still humans with feelings, flaws, and misfortunes. And when they have a pet, they’re considered cruel for inflicting their hard times on the trusting animal.

But that doesn’t take into account how loyal pets are, how often they are abandoned and taken in by these individuals, and how much their humans sacrifice their own well-being to make sure their fluffy friends get enough food and shelter before them.
This video shows how important these bonds truly are, and how wrong we are to question that.

Instead of ignoring, judging, and shunning these individuals, we should be doing our part to help them. Head over to the Pets of the Homeless website to see how you can assist with a donation or by volunteering your time to help these cuties stay healthy despite their hard times.
