San Francisco uses puppies to lure panhandlers off streets
I’ve always loved the idea of matching these two things which are always in over supply and bringing them together. Those two things are:
- the unemployed in need of work
- unwanted dogs in need of care
Prison programs with dogs are a really successful example of where it’s made a huge difference to bring people and animals together. I haven’t looked into the specifics of this idea (is it enough money, how does the selection work), but I love the experiment and concept. I hope it yields positive results to cause more interest in this area.
