Need A Companion? Get A Dog!

While walking down the street last week I made an interesting observation: dogs are really great tools/accessories for hooking up with someone of the non-canine variety. Let's face it- dogs like to sniff each other out. So when they encounter another of their own kind, it's the perfect opportunity for their owners to check each other out too. So this guy was walking his dog in front of me when his dog passed by another dog being walked by his male owner. They stopped and sniffed each other but both owners immedieately pulled them apart and continued on their own seperate paths. Further down the road the dog met another dog- this time with a female owner. Both owners ended up stopping while the dogs stared at each other and eventually pulled in closer, bringing in their owners too (and it looked like they had no inclination of leaving any time soon). Awwww. It was quite the 101 Dalmations moment.
