Sad stories of the homeless

Sad story of a homeless person who lost his dog to cold on Thursday when he couldn’t get inside to warm up. It seems that, despite an earlier story, shelters were not all following winter procedures in response to the early cold snap. And then most shelters don’t accept animals.

CBC has a piece about a group that brings books, drawing materials and reading glasses to the homeless, and tries to talk to them about ideas. I think they’ve been mentioned before, but I still don’t have access to my old archive.
