Homeless Man’s Plea to Save His Dog Touches Hearts Outside Walmart
For many homeless people, their pets are their family—and they’ll sacrifice anything to keep them safe. That truth became clear outside a Walmart in Houston, Texas, when Wilma Frice noticed a man holding a heartbreaking sign that read: “Dog in pound, need help.”
The man, Patrick, wasn’t asking for food or money for himself. Instead, he was desperate to raise $120 to get his best friend, Franklin, out of the pound.

Wilma recalled the moment to People, saying: “He seemed like a nice, gentle soul who just happened to have a hard life. The look in his eye was desperation; he looked like a big kid who just lost his puppy.”
Deeply moved, Wilma gave Patrick the money he needed. Soon after, Franklin was released, and the reunion between the two was nothing short of joyful.
Patrick later shared a Facebook post expressing his gratitude:

“I’m just so shocked—he is a wonderful man and Franklin is a wonderful dog. I did this because I would want somebody to do it for me. I’ve done homeless animals all my life and dedicated my life to them. We all could be in his situation in the blink of an eye and you never know somebody’s situation or what’s going on in their life. I am not a very judgmental person, and I never judge somebody by the cover of their book… You should always pay it forward if you’re able.”

Wilma’s act of kindness not only reunited a man and his beloved dog but also inspired countless others who heard the story. For Patrick, Franklin is more than just a pet—he’s a lifeline, a source of unconditional love, and a reason to keep going even in hard times.
This story is a powerful reminder that compassion can change lives. Sometimes, the greatest gift you can give isn’t money or food for yourself, but love for the ones who mean the most.
