CANINE CONNECTION

Photography By Caroline Mccone

For Dana Williams, who is unhoused, caring for his dog, Harley, allows him to regain a daily ritual. “When we get homeless, we lose a routine,” Williams says. “Pets are not for everyone who is homeless. It gives me something to do.” For people without consistent shelter, a furry friend can bring stability and companionship. In mid-March, at a local campsite for unhoused people, Williams and Harley received dog food, a collar, a leash and a dog bone treat from volunteers with nonprofit Unchained Melodies. Photographer Caroline McCone showcases people and their pets living in unconventional spaces in her project “Man’s Best Friend” at carolinemccone.com.
