Have you tried to actually figure it out and failed, or is it just a figure of speech and you mean to say that it doesn't make economic sense for a homeless person to have a pet?

In case you are still trying to figure it out, I'd offer that I'm sure each homeless person with a pet will have their own take on the situation and have their own reasons. I would guess though, that those reasons are the same that people with homes have pets. Mainly companionship. I would imagine that having no home is very stressful and depressing, and a faithful companion would be nice.
