Man Has Fed Dogs Of The City’s Homeless For 5 Years; Now He Has Even Bigger Plans

For the past five years, Paul Crowell has been a guardian angel to hundreds of homeless people in San Francisco who are desperate to keep their dogs healthy and fed properly.

Coincidentally, Crowell worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility that would always throw out their extra pet food. Instead of letting it go to waste, Crowell came up with a perfect solution for the excess kibble.

“Pretty quickly, I became known as ‘the doggy food man,’ and I started bringing it all the time.”

After the company was purchased and the new owners said that the excess dry food could no longer be collected, many people would just have given up.

Crowell, however, got creative, and went on to not only feed more dogs, but also began taking them to the veterinarian under his own name and paying health bills for dozens of pups.

“The dogs give these people a reason to carry on, and a lot of times, that may be the only thing. They’re a team out there; they help each other live,” says Crowell. 

And Crowell helps them all. You can read more about his extraordinary efforts on behalf of those who have the least in society, and also discover how you can help too.
