"The dog, the cat & the rat" a must see video

[bif]

his is a video of one of the homeless in Santa Barbara and his pets. They work State Street every week for donations. The animals are pretty well fed and are mellow. They are a family. The man who owns them rigged a harness up for his cat so she wouldn't have to walk so much (like the dog and himself). At some juncture the rat came along, and as no one wanted to eat anyone else, the rat started riding with the cat and, often, on the cat! The dog, will stand all day and let you talk to him and admire him for a few chin scratches. The Mayor of Santa Barbara filmed this clip and sent it out as a Christmas card.

3. That's very cool.

I hope that guy can get a home for himself and his pets. :(

I hope the next democratic president can overcome the political urge to blame and ignore homeless people. We need real policies to help the poor and people in need.
