He can't be too penniless if he can afford a collar like that for his dog. Here in France, the SDF (homeless people) often have their dogs on a piece of rope.
That's both tender and a little scary. Did you find out the meaning of the strange tattoo on his cheek? This gentleman looks a lot more hobo than than yesterday's. It interesting that they travel in a pack rather than solo.
I'm fascinated that you actually found this hobo community...and that they were willing to be photographed! This is a superb photo V... I'm fascinated by the tattoo...the dog collar...the whole concept!
This is such an interesting shot - the dog is alert with ears back - and that collar! The man is submissive looking at the dog and both hands are totally slack - he's not even holding the dog. What a relationship! And what a satisfying shoot you had that day!
I thank you all for your comments. I have one more post but I'l save it for next week. I was unsure about posting these but I've so enjoyed your remarks!

You captured their friendship nicely, V.
this is such an excellent documentary image.
Great portraiture of the two. The dog looks a little protective. Brave to make such a photo and thanks for showing.

Beautiful Virginia, great image. Love your choice of black and white.

I would love to know more about that tattoo. I hope the dog is well cared for.
