Is your dog getting jealous of your love 'via-internet' connection? No need to exclude your four legged friend, doggie dating online is gaining popularity. Websites such as www.doggie-dating.co.uk offer your dog the opportunity to post their profile and find their soul mate. Some websites even allow you to pre-screen barks to see if it makes your dog's ears perk. And, if you're not yet matched up, maybe your pooch can introduce you to their new friend's owner.
