The life of a stray dog living on the streets of Los Angeles can be as good as merciless. At worst, a homeless dog may end up scrounging for food in the most obscure, inhospitable parts of the urban infrastructure. Faced with the dangers of traffic, parasites, filth, and other hazards over months or years, they end up mangy and maimed beyond words.
At best (and only if they are lucky), they may be seen by humans who are caring enough to offer time and resources to their aid. And if they know who to call for help, there may be hope in store for them in the end—if it’s not already too late.
