“The sign broke her heart. The homeless man, named Patrick, stood there desperate for someone to help him. He wasn’t asking for food or money for himself. He was asking for someone to help his best friend” When this man needed help, an angel appeared.

Many homeless individuals own animals, despite widespread criticism. This isn’t a debate about it. Only when a homeless person puts their pet in danger should there be a dispute; most of the time, they don’t. They do without so that their pet may have a consistent meal, stay warm, and have proper shelter.

Wilma Frice of Houston, Texas, noticed a person standing outside of Walmart with a sign that read, “Dog in pound, need help.”

Her heart was devastated by the sign. Patrick, a homeless man, was there by himself, asking for help. He wasn’t requesting food or money for himself. He was looking for help for his best friend, Franklin, who was in the pound because he couldn’t afford $120 to get him out.

“He seemed like a nice, gentle soul who just happened to have a hard life,” Frice told People.com. He had a desperate look in his eyes, like a huge boy who had just lost his dog.”

Patrick wrote the following on Facebook after getting the money from Wilma. According to her post:

“I’m homeless so shocked he is a wonderful man and Franklin is a wonderful dog I did this because I would want somebody to do it for me I’ve done homeless animals all my life and dedicated my life to them we all could be in his blink of an eye and you never know somebody like or what’s going on in their situation so I am not a very judgmental person and I never judge somebody by the cover of their book is until you’ve walked in their shoes you have no idea what somebody’s I know how hard I work every day just to make sure the animals have all they need and will never wind up on the street again while they wait for their forever home, and I have been blessed in my life with unconditional love for all the homeless animals.”
