The Homeless and Their Canine Companions

Anyone who has ever owned a dog knows that if you treat them kindly, there is no limit to their loyalty. The concept of canine devotion to humans is beautifully illustrated in these photos of street people and their dogs. These dogs could go off in search of someone better able to feed and shelter them, but they don't. They are there in the trenches with their human companions who are battling mental illness, poverty and other banes of humanity. See more of these touching photos here.
