Panhandling with dog

While leaving the Camino Arroyo shopping center recently, I saw a woman panhandling at the entrance/exit between Kohl's and Panera. My concern was that she had a large dog with her. What I don't understand is, California state Penal Code Section 597. 1 states: "Every owner, driver, or keeper of any animal who permits the animal to be in any building, enclosure, lane, street, square, or lot of any city, county, city and county, or judicial district without proper care and attention is guilty of a misdemeanor." The statute also creates "a duty in peace officers, humane society officers, and animal control officers to cause the animal to be killed or rehabilitated and placed in a suitable home on information that the animal is stray or abandoned." Why aren't these dogs being taken away from owners so poor they cannot properly take care of themselves with daily food, water and shelter? Shouldn't the police, city employees, or animal control take the animal for the animal’s sake and try to find it a home?

Holiday golden rule and a daughter who’s made her family very proud

Violated a holiday golden rule once this week – I hurried out of Nob Hill after having a great deli sandwich lunch with my wife and daughter without putting a penny in the Salvation Army kettle. I’ll double up next time, but it’s a good rule. Don’t pass the kettle and the bell ringer without making a gift.
