Colin became homeless after his friend who he was staying with suddenly died leaving him a week to find somewhere else. Unable to find anywhere he has now been homeless for 10 weeks. The only person there for Colin is his late friends dog named Ronnie. You can see the love in Colins eyes every time he looks at Ronnie. Colin says that he just wishes people would acknowledge him, even if they don't have any spare change. A simple no from them to him would mean a lot , rather than just walking by with their heads down. It would make him feel like a human being again.
