Street dwellers beg with dogs

First, maybe he has that animal because that person lives on the street and that dog is his only family. In these situations, you have an immediate need to help him or her to alleviate any needs he may be experiencing. In fact, until recently, this reasoning prevailed over any other reasoning for most people who saw this kind of scene.

Inevitably, however, there is another way of seeing the same truth, moreover, imposed over time. What is generally considered at the moment is that this person is probably true living on the street and begging out of necessity, but that this does not justify doing it with his dog, or even less so as a housewife. Sometimes he uses it with the intention of pitying and getting more help. This kind of use is nothing new if you remember, it used to be done with children and was even encouraged by real mobs who came to hire human babies for it. Fortunately, strict regulations prevent this human exploitation.

Today, many municipal ordinances and all new animal protection laws prohibit asking for money with an animal on the street. In addition, compliance with the different hygiene-sanitary regulations that owners must comply with regarding their animals is practically incompatible with owning a dog living on the street.

I think when such situations occur in a city and someone is begging with their animal, it is important that not only health authorities but also social services intervene. In these cases it is essential to make a complete assessment that includes the person and the animal. This way we will avoid mistakes and be as fair as possible when evaluating each situation.
