I think the owner is the guy who is unconcious or dead on the ground (guy didn't even twitch when the gun went off a couple of feet from his head). Dog fearlessly tried to protect his non-responsive owner, too bad he couldn't understand that the police were trying to help.
It's a hard call, the paradmedics can't help the patient because of the damn dog. Paramedics call the cops because animal control people can't respond in time. Cops arrive, to assess the situation, and did what they needed to do. Paramedics help the patient and it's all good. People scream and yell, because they are too stupid to know any better. I would like to hear the crowd screaming when the damn dog starts to tear the crowd appart. Pitbulls are dangerous animals, and if the patient did not receive medical treatment on time, It's because of the owner's stupid decision to buy a dog that everyone fears for a reason.
I've never understood this either but you see it all the time. The homeless guy on the sidewalk with his dog. I get that the dog is good company and protection for him, but if you can't afford to feed yourself, how can you afford to feed and care for an animal??
Even homeless people need companionship. A dog is a very loyal companion. Many homeless people will feed their pets before themselves and it's unfortunate that he choose a pit bull.
Was he having a seizure? It's not clear from the video - he looked like he was just passed out.
maybe your assumption that they can't "afford" to feed themselves need examination.
If you think about it, a panhandler could potentially make a lot more money than the average joe that works either in construction or office. The difference is pride. The kid's hunger is drugs or alcohol. If you were hungry, who cares where the food comes from. real hungry people eat anything. if the kid refused the pet food, he obviously needs cash for something else.
