An act of kindness from one heart to another is never misplaced. A gift carries no conditions and no strings.

My daughter taught me that. I spoke to her about fears that when I give money or food, it’s enabling.

She said, “Once you give a gift, it no longer belongs to you. It belongs to the recipient and how they choose to use it has nothing to do with you.”

Kudos for being nice to people in need.
The problem with doing this is that the guy learns he doesn't need to work for a living, he can just hang out at certain places and look a certain way and people will feed him, give him money, give him clothes and drugs and other things.
It seems like it helps the guy, but really it just teaches him to be lazy.
The dog on the other hand is a dependant. If this guy cannot support the dog, then that is sad.. for the dog.
