When you see a homeless person and their pet, don’t judge. It’s not an irresponsible choice, like many people believe. What you’re seeing is heartwarming love and companionship. Photographer Norah Levine and producer Gabrielle Amster worked together to show the world the bond that homeless people have with their pets. These people on the streets rely on their pets for companionship, protection, and for love. The selfless love that the project Lifelines highlights is so moving to see. Take a look for yourself.
