Dating goes to the dogs

There's one meet market where poop's putrid aroma won't ruin your chances of scoring a second date:

The dog park.

Here, the Washington Post describes how a dog park can have matchmaking potential for humans.

My favorite part of the article? This disclaimer, courtesy of Dan Cohen, founder and president of Animal Attraction:

"Being at the dog park's great and it allows you to open up a conversation, but at some point, there needs to be something for two people to talk about other than, you know, what color is your dog's poop in the morning."

Sadly, I've heard the "our dogs get along great, can I get your number?" pickup line more than once. It doesn't work.

Confession time: Have you ever used your pet as a way to meet members of the opposite sex?
