What is the fucking deal with these bums who beg and bother people for money and own dogs!!!! They “supposedly” don’t have money for food and or shelter but have the privilege to take care of living being. Is this not animal cruelty or some shit? Ditch the dog, get a job like EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS WORLD, and you can’t tell me there isn’t work available either. Your standards are way to fucking high, you just don’t like the fact of someone telling what to do, not a fan of a little authority above you. You know what that’s life, so live with it.
PS – That dog of yours can probably do just as well without you. I think they’re called “strays”, maybe that’s what I’ll call you guys from now on. “Strays”. Maybe the NSPCA should round you guys up, give you a flea bath (lord knows it looks like you need it!) get you neutered and if no-one claims or adopts you, well you know what happens next.

Those lazy sods can make much more bumming your hard-earned money than working at a lousy minimum wage job – hey, I guess they aren’t as stupid as they look. But when they bring a dog into the picture, it makes me crazy. If you can’t even look after yourself, what right do you have to own a dog? And worse yet, make the dog hold the fucking Tim’s cup in his mouth? You lazy fucks – I wouldn’t give you two cents but I might consider getting the dog something to eat.
I think thats a neat trick. I also like the cup on a fishing rod.
But don’t you think the dog’s earning his keep by holding the cup? I say we unionize all Cup Holding Dogs.
If I was the dog I’d get a cat to hole the cup
A lot of homeless guys take better care of their dogs than themselves, and better than people with homes… The dog is always with their owner, which is a big plus for the dog, and the probably gets more excerise than most dogs…. But the guy with the dog and Horton’s cup really bugs me… That is abusive… If it was Starbucks, then okay, but Horton’s…??? NFW…
I kind of get your point but you seem like an ass.The people with dogs, the obvious gel in their hair, the piercings – they’re not the kind of ‘homeless’ that lost their job, their house, and got forced onto the street to live in poverty. Its slightly more of a choice. I save my change for the people who seem genuinely oppressed.
I’ve done it before. Give the owner of the pet fuck all, but go into the Dollar Store at Scotia Square when it’s open and buy the dog some food. Poor old dogie deserves it more than the able bodied, lazy ass of an owner.The begging able bodied owner uses the pets as a heart string to entice donating. I say arise one and all and boycott the tin can shaking panhandlers and feed the pets, whether they be dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, Hedge Hogs, no offense Hedgy or whatever the choice of pet is.Lets put an end to this senseless giving away of money and spend it where it’s needed most, on the innocent pet or pets.
Hey Comrade I think that’s is why “Homeless” is in quotations. Just maybe. But what about needles, medication (for the dog) & registration? The cops should round these guys up. Well the cops should do a lot of stuff, but that’s another bitch all together.
The cops just stand around and talk to these bums all the time. Glad they have such pride in our city. The tourists must be really impressed with two bums per block.
The homeless folks are probablly a tresure trove of information of the goings on on the street.
I salute the crust punks with the dogs. I give them my money whenever possible, because I know that they take better care of their dogs then my roommate does of her cat… Hey, maybe they want my roommates cat… Seems like it would get fed properly.
this is totally messed up to see. Its like pan handlers with cell phones. How is it that i work hard to keep my cell on, but a homeless person can have a pay as you go phone?Even during my moments at the shelter, having a pet while panhandling or a cell phone, totally blew my mind.Oh, about the cops talking to the homeless and what not? it doesnt do taxpayers a cent of good for these guys with no real income to be chucked in jail. Ottawa is FAR worse for the panhandling. They are everywhere, except in front of Parliament hill
But Homie, a homeless person would HAVE to have a cell phone… With NO HOME, where would you expect them to hook up a land line..???Sometimes you miss the totally obvious…
eat a d*ck floyd you fool.lol
Holy shit. Did the Homie just LAUGH?? Holy shit. Holy shit.
Alot of people just dont decide hey im going to be homeless it is usualy followed with a story as in i got laid off i couldnt find work etc they end up losing their life, home etc all they have is their dog(s) which are family members to them. Therefor they are not going to just ditch the only thing they have left.ALSO every homeless person that I have meet whom has a dog puts their dog in front of themselves first they get money they buy their dog something to eat.
I hate these bums so much!!!! I am outside my work place having a smoke, because it is a bar and there are so many children present that smoking is banned-NOT- that is another Bitch altogether. Anyway, I am hit up for smokes, quarters, loonies, etc…endlessly. Fuck off !!!! I just hussled this quarter out of some drunk, I am not giving it to another drunk.
