These are terrible, awful people. Clearly this kind of criminals are not fit to have children of their own and should have them taken away from them.

It's just a hobo. Does anyone think the hobo could take care of that dog? How do you think the hobo got into that position? Probably addicted to half a dozen drugs.
Beggars, contrary to popular belief, can actually make more money that some people with full time jobs. From $100k for beggars outside of a walmart in Oregon to any range of income $15/hour and up.
So yeah, not only do I think he can take care of that dog but I bet people donate food specifically for the dog all the time and give him more than they otherwise would have for the sake of the dog. The dog may have ended up being healthier with a far more active lifestyle than assholes that buy a dog and keep them in a house all day. You may be less capable of providing for this dog than he is if you think about overall well being in that way. That last one is the primary reason why I didn't own a dog until I bought a 6 acre farm for the dog to be able to roam happily around. People don't realize what the sedentary life of especially wealthy people does to dogs. It isn't healthy.
In any event, this simply isn't your or anyone's call to make unless the dog is visibly emaciated. The alternative for most dogs is getting sent to a pound where if they aren't picked up they are disposed of.
