Sure, dating is “ruff” — but this is doggone wrong!

Lonely hearts are deceiving love interests on dating apps by engaging in a practice known as “dogfishing” — when the person borrows someone else’s pooch for profile snaps, the Washington Post reported.
“It’s like getting your foot in the door, presenting yourself in this performative way. Until that impression is ruined because you have to explain yourself,” said Gaby Wolff, whose brief romance came to a screeching halt when her date revealed he didn’t actually own the black Labrador on his Hinge profile.

Ah. That's why I didn't get a sugar packet last night. Didn't have any kids with me.

Basically:

with all the douchebags out there on line, the last thing someone should be worried about is "is that REALLY your dog".

With how horrible some of those pics are on dating sites, maybe some folks should stick with posting a pic of ONLY a dog.

I was playing with my dog at the park and this little girl asked if she could pet my dog. She had such a good time playing with my dog Bob that I gave her the dog. Bob was the bestest dog ever and I dont tknow if I could find another, but it does feel good knowing Bob is happy playing with that little kid. I really miss Bob and maybe when I get over the heartbreak Ill look for another one to train.
