In India, hundreds of dogs are being signed up for dog dating websites such as Puppy Love and Date Your Pet, according to Reuters. A doggie dating post goes something like this: “Brucci, single six-year-old mixed breed available for mating. Ferocious! Yet demure and very lovable. Extremely possessive.” Yes, this is an actual post. I’m not sure this owner is doing so well finding hook-ups for his pup. “Ferocious” and “extremely possessive” aren’t exactly selling points.

“Pet ownership has boomed in India," says the piece, "thanks to its growing ranks of wealthy, middle and upper class professionals who are also driving sales of luxury goods. But for the vast majority of the country, which lives on between $1 and $2 a day, pets are not an option.” I won’t include the part about what they do to stray dogs because it’s tragic.
