The Rapper and the Stray Dogs of Detroit

Roaming dogs have been a part of the city of Detroit for a long time.

It’s estimated that the city has the most homeless dogs in the nation at anywhere from 30,000 to 50,000.  The city, the poorest major city in the country, has a hard time controlling the issue.

Many residents find that they can no longer pay to feed their dogs and just let them loose on the streets. A recent Rolling Stone article chronicled the issue in detail, along with the man who is on a mission to help the dogs and help his city.
