Are you lonely? Need a friend? Looking for someone compatible? NO! Not you! At least that’s what a new social networking service for dogs and dog owners has to say.
A free service called “Australian Dogtree” is now available where an owner can look online for a suitable playmate or walking friend for their dog.
So what happens when you find one for your best friend? You can invite the dog and its owners on a play date or an initial meeting. There, you can decide if you want to continue the relationship (soft music in the background).
A couple of ways dog owners can do it is to enter their zip code to see if there’s someone close by to begin with. From there, they can dig deeper, or conduct a new search by selecting size and breed.
