Don't have a dog? Borrow one. I had a dog for years, and I'm telling you dog owners always welcome someone who is willing to wear their pup out on a nice long walk. Plus, who's saying no to this text? "Hey! I'm watching my friend's dog today, care to join this cutie for an evening stroll? [insert photo of dog]" If your date says no, congratulations, you've eliminated a heartless candidate who doesn't share your interests anyway.
