A word to the young. Save save save and then save even more. Stay away from drugs and alcohol and live below your means. This is what the American dream is. It gives you the freedom from government to make good life choices so when you’re my age 83, you can still live below your means and be happy. Don’t be deceived by your youth. Its fleeting.

The American Dream is a scam and most Americans have dropped off. We have ignored the criteria’s that are set up by the Government for the lower middle class to fail.

This indicates the U.S. is among the worst country in dealing with homelessness given the power, money, and resources it has. With similar amount of power and resources, Japan literally puts the U.S. to shame on this issue. There are homeless people in Japan, but they are manageable and in a much smaller scale than the ones existing in the U.S. In fact, what I have seen in Philly, Skid Row and many other U.S. cities are far worst than many poor cities in East and Southeast Asian cities; you don't see zombies in those Asian cities.

[@bettywith2girls]

With all due respect, the dogs are kept in the trailers all the time, he said, or else the neighbor that doesn't like him tries to run them over, not just for the interview. I also think he keeps them in there to keep them from being bitten by snakes, like he was several times. He is free to live anyway he wants...and is free to come and go as he wants...meanwhile the dogs are stuck in a hot RV with no fans or A/C in the hot Arizona heat all the time. Dogs in shelters are not treated like this...they are in a climate controlled building and taken care of by vets and out for walks and petted by shelter volunteers, and possibly adopted out to loving homes that can afford dogs. No matter how well meaning this nice gentleman is, most of those dogs should be taken from him with him allowed to keep a certain number only...if told this is the way it is, he'll be just fine with it. I wonder if a-n-y of those dogs have e-v-e-r seen a vet. He is barely taking care of those dogs as it is. That's why we're concerned,

I didn't even see any fans in those cramped RV's he keeps the dogs in all the time, and I bet none of those dogs have seen a vet e-v-e-r in their life. He needs to be persuaded to give the dogs to a shelter or rescue so they can be looked over by a vet, treated, and are able to be adopted out to good homes. He can keep a few, after they are seen by a vet to keep him company, but I think he keeps them because he doesn't know what to do and is treading water (barely keeping them alive), unfortunately.

God bless that man. What love he has for his dogs and life in general while he himself has nothing but his dogs. This literally made me cry and feel sorry for him and at the same time have the utmost respect for him. To live poor, simple and humbly he has the best attitude and seems grateful for everything he does have. What a rare and special person. Some people should take notes and a lesson and stop being greedy and ungrateful and bitter assholes. I'd be honored to know this man because he is 100% a man

@@sarahdeshay1394 he's living a most humble life and not for himself. He's amazing content with where he's at so long as the dogs needs are met and especially and obviously before his.

[@jacquelineem1991]

I think hes a total sweetheart and loves his dogs, but this isnt suitable for him or the dogs. He can not take care of himself and senior services and animal welfare need involved urgently. :( And before anyone has beef with me stating this as cruel or nosey, we as tax payers employ professionals to evaluate these situations and determine what is healthy and safe and that is who needs involved.

[@bettywith2girls]

Exactly. There's community resources that can take care of situations like this, both for this gentleman and for his dogs. If he wants to still live like this, upon being offered services, than that's fine and that's on him. But the dogs are barely being taken care of...and are kept in unsanitary conditions...he can keep a few to keep him company after they are seen by a vet, but the others should be given a chance to live a decent lie by a shelter or dog rescue.

[@flowers4me745]

I know everyone is talking about the dogs but most of them would be put down if taken to the pound . Atleast he cleans out after them and feeds and waters them and lets them out. He had a pile of blankets out because he said they all just got there fresh blankets.

[@bettywith2girls]

He said he doesn't let them out EVER because the neighbor that doesn't like him tries to run them over. So they are stuck living in an overheated RV all the time sitting in their own excrement until he comes to clean...and I don't know how well he can clean with all those dogs in there...I doubt he lets them out for that. None of those dogs have seen a vet e-v-e-r, I bet you. This is no way for a dog to live....barely existing in a cramped overheated RV in their own filth and some dog food and water changed or given probably once a day? And that's not necessarily true that a shelter would just end up killing most of them if they truck them to various shelters in different areas, clean them up, have them see a vet, socialize them if needed, and advertise them for adoption. At least they would have a good life until the end or have the chance of being adopted out. How many dogs do you think this guy gives away in this down-and-out neighborhood? I'm guessing not many, if any. He's a wonderful guy with all good intentions, but he just has too many animals to take care of.

I was common law married to a man for 30 years. In Ohio. I tried to fight for his retirement benefits, but they would not give them to me so of course the Congress got his money! Every single penny that he paid into the system was distributed between the congressmen and congresswomen.

I feel really sorry for this man. It’s heartbreaking. I like how some people seem more concerned about animals than they are about this man. Yeah he shouldn’t have so many dogs. Obviously, he’s very lonely, not in good health and in distress. I love animals. I have dogs. I used have a guinea pig. Birds, I’ve got fish. I take care of stray cats. When a beautiful cat that somebody dropped off out here, has kittens, they end up coming up to the door at few weeks old , we take them in, domesticate them and find homes for them. I’ve done that four times. PAWs won’t help me, they don’t even have the decency to get back to me and tell me that they can’t help get this poor cat fixed so she won’t have kittens every six months. This man needs help probably mental help also. But when it comes to people, I’m more concerned about people. This man sounds like the guy that lived at the slabs and created Salvation Mountain. Humans are more important than an animal. Even my animals. This man doesn’t belong living out there. He seems to blame everybody but himself, I’ve noticed. This is one of the saddest videos I’ve seen you make.
