Homeless people can sometimes own homeless pets.
In Berlin, a company has started a soup kitchen for dogs, providing free meals for the pooches of the homeless or unemployed.
The director, Claudia Hollm, has heard from critics who say she should be providing for people rather than dogs. But she told Reuters, "Making sure dogs don't go hungry is just as important as making sure that people don't starve."
It's not just dogs who are being served. One woman using the service owns four cats, a rabbit and some guinea pigs in addition to two dogs.

I cannot understand why anyone would criticize this shelter director for providing food for the animals that pass through, especially if that food is donated.

Wow, what a great idea! If we had something like this in the US, maybe it would help our newly unemployed not have to give up their pets who have been such a big part of their lives.
