His spiel was that he only got 500 dollars a month in Social Security, and most of it went for the rent of his kitchenette apartment.He's eligible for $190 a month in food stamps. Good spiel, though.

I’ve seen that trick before. All I can say is if they cant afford to take care of themselves, why keep a dog?

After several trips to the dog pound, I finally found a dog that most people can’t seem to resist.

As of July 1, 2010, there has been a significant change to Florida’s SNAP (food stamps) eligibility policy that (1) eliminates the asset test and (2) increases the gross income limit as long as the household does not contain a “disqualified” member (most won’t).

You think “mid 60’s” is elderly?
Gads! You would probably label me as ancient!

Sad to say, but the typical panhandler is a drug addict looking for cash for drugs.
Yes, there are drug addicts that are old (or look old).

I’ve gotten a similar spiel, albeit this guy dressed down and out and had the dog on a cord. He basically says he has to sell his dog he is so down on his luck and do you want to buy him?
To: jespasinthru
He’s panhandling to pay for drugs or alcohol, as is the case with 99.99% of panhandlers.

My guess is the old guy just wanted to talk to someone. Why didn’t you just buy him dog food?
