While many walk past them unnoticed, countless people experiencing homelessness in Brazil share something powerful — an unbreakable bond with their dogs. These animals are more than companions; they’re family, guardians, and a source of love and loyalty in the toughest of times.
The Instagram account 'MRSC,' created by Laila Chaidar, captures this connection through raw, moving photos and stories. Her organization, Moradores de Rua e Seus Cães, supports both the people and their pets, reminding us that love, care, and loyalty don’t depend on having a roof — just a heartbeat.

Homeless people's dogs are always happier because no, they don't get a fancy cushioned bed or cool squeaky toys, but they're with their owner 24/7. They never end up spending 8+ hours alone in an apartment because their owner is at work and never spends more than a few minutes with them in the evening. Dogs value emotional connections a lot more than material stuff, they'll always be happier sleeping on the streets with someone who loves and values them as companions rather than sleeping on a couch and watching pet TV all day long waiting for a little attention.

I love the relationships between these unhoused people and their dogs. I do worry about the dogs though and their health and well being. They should all be spayed or neutered of course. The healthcare for our pup is not cheap and I'm always concerned that these dogs aren't getting what it needs, not to mention proper food.

Until we can finally eliminate homelessness once and for all, I am glad that some unhoused people have a furry companion. Mostly, the dogs serve as a sort of lifeline to humanity, keeping them from losing all hope, and easing their psychological suffering. But they are much more than that to many -- a dog will also be a guardian, a protector, and a warm body on a cold night. They will often take better care of their dog than they do themselves. Bless them all.
