Sacramento's Needy Pets Get Meals on Wheels Too

I love this story from the Sacramento Bee. While the social safety net provides for needy humans, too often their animal companions are left out. In Sacramento, California, that's no longer the case since the launch of Meals on Wheels/Pets Eat Too.

The motivation behind this innovation is simple. Needy clients of the human Meals on Wheels program were sharing their meals with their pets. And who wouldn't share with a family member? That's the way many folks see their dogs and cats--as family members.

Now Pup and Kitty can eat their own delivered-to-their-doorstep meals. But it wouldn't surprise EconOpinion a bit if the lucky canines and felines who benefit from Pets Eat Too are still offered a little treat from their owners' plates once in a while.
