Soup Kitchen for Homeless Dogs

A soup kitchen for dogs has opened up in Berlin.  The soup kitchen, opened up by Claudia Hollm, is called Animal Board.  They provide meals for dogs of the homeless, and also to people who have recently lost their job.  Animal Board is supported by several companies, including makers of animal food.
