I wonder if dogs are good investments for homeless people

I'm inclined to give more generously to homeless people who have dogs, just to make sure the doggie doesn't starve. It occurs to me that I'm probably not the only person who does this. So I wonder if, from a cold economic perspective, owning a dog has a good ROI for homeless people?

Dogs are super loyal and great company, so they're a good ROI for someone who might be lonely and disconnected. But they cost a lot of money to feed, so in that sense, I wouldn't think so.
