Without this Meal on Wheels program some seniors citizens choose between feeding themselves or feeding their dogs
There’s no reason to go into the benefits of having a dog here—to anyone reading this, that would be an extreme case of preaching to the choir. The importance of canine companionship for seniors cannot be overemphasized, nor can the joy dogs bring if those seniors do not have all the social outlets that they once did.
That is why it’s particularly distressing to know that many elderly people are foregoing some of their own food to feed their dogs because of a lack of options. It shouldn’t be that way, and thanks to a new local program from Meals on Wheels, it no longer will be that way for many people living in Columbus, Ohio.
