http://www.reshareworthy.com/homeless-man-sleeps-outside-shelter-to-find-dog/Homeless Man Sleeps Outside Of Animal Shelter Hoping That They Have Found His Lost Dog
A worker at DeKalb County Animal Services in Georgia arrived at work in the morning to find the man lying on the sidewalk out front of their shelter. When they woke him up they learned that he had spent the last of his money to take the bus over to them after his dog had gone missing. He was waiting for them to open to see if they had found her.
It turns out that they had. The shelter had picked up a stray two weeks earlier and taken it to their new facility on the other side of town. Thats when the kennel technician did an act of kindness that is going viral. The shelter worker paid for his train ticket so he could get to the other location and reunite with his dog, Tata. Their reunion was captured on camera and the shelter wrote, We see some amazing reunions here at LifeLines DeKalb Animal Services, but this one was extra special.
The shelter was so moved by the touching reunion that they waived all of the fees and offered the man assistance through their outreach program its a program that helps the homeless with their dogs.
Video of reunion at link. Well worth a look.

I've noticed that anytime I see homeless people with pets, the pets are very well taken care of. There's so much to loving and being loved by a pet. It give life and hope and happiness.
