Okay, but what if I depict security as a pug?
What I'm saying is I'm having trouble with the initial premise, not necessarily the conclusion.
The pug becomes rabid and bites you. You succumb to rabies because you couldn't afford the $2000 for the rabies vaccine. Not that you have any paid sick time to take to go see the doctor anyways. You're living paycheck to paycheck and couldn't afford to fall behind at all.
An attack happens and the pug gets so worked up that it is unable to breathe properly due to generational line breeding, seizes, and dies. Libertiegh gets her purse stolen and is super bummed about the whole thing. She goes to the pound just to look and the OP image occurs.
