My doggo. My blind boy is my life. Love that guy.
Is this a trap? I feel like this is a trap.
I’d take my dog over any human that isn’t an immediate family member or close friend...and in those cases, I’d still think long and hard about it.
Nothing against the homeless dude in this scenario, but people, pretty much all people (w/a select few exceptions), absolutely suck. I’m not losing the most loving being on the planet to save someone who sucks.
Viva Oreo!

I don't remember even my worst of enemies making eye contact with me as they shit in the middle of my living room floor. The dog on the other hand......
Do I have to pull the trigger? That's a big question that needs answered.
Sorry another clarification. Is the homeless dude just some down on his luck dude who has a hidden talent? Think the golden voice guy from a few years back. Are we talking about the crazy guy who yells at me because I smiled at him as I walked by. These things matter!!
Which pet matters as well. I have three cats and two dogs. The dogs are morans.
edit: And when I was "I", I mean "We".
edit^2: And when I say "We", I mean "They"".
Homeless guy. My cat is an asshole and would probably still survive just to spite me.

We had dogs when I was married. Then I had kids. Dogs took a backseat. Haven't had a dog or pet in almost 4 years now. My kids are still young enough that they require a lot of my attention plus needing someone to watch it if I have to travel. Maybe someday again

Plus the homeless dude doesn't like the taste of peanut butter and scrotum or maybe he does? 🤷
My pets give unconditional love. I have bought many a homeless guy McDonald's breakfast. So....I have already given homeless guy his death sentence.
I’d say well-informed and experienced in life...but you call it whatever makes you feel good.
Animals are dependent on you and give you unconditional love while a homeless guy has chosen the path he is on. They sit at every street corner begging for money when most of the time, there is a job opening just a few feet away at a business but they don’t want to actually work. I’ve asked them to come to our business to work in the warehouse and we will get them on their feet with housing, food, a full time job if they will commit to being there 40 hours a week. They can’t get away from me fast enough.
This is too easy. Dog or wife would have been a tougher choice.
I wouldn't say you have to pull the trigger, but I think you'd have to be there when it happened - so you can't deny to yourself what occurred.
We don't get to pick - that's what makes it random. Maybe it's some guy who had it all and then threw it away for drugs, maybe it's a guy who's so terrible no one wanted him around any more, maybe it's some PTSD vet who could no longer function in society and never got the help they needed: we don't get to know their background.
Maybe we say the choice of pet is whichever one you immediately think of when I say "your pet". If one specific dog or cat pops into your head, that's the one - so I guess it's the one you think of first, or the most.
I'm with this 100%. Most people are not good. Even the ones you might consider "good" are still selfish and destructive. There are VERY few I'd pick over one of my cats.
