Just got back from getting my truck’s state inspection. I took my dog along for the ride. As I’m waiting outside (with the dog right by my side) the store for the mechanic to do his thing, two of the hottest girls, wearing short shorts and spaghetti strap tank tops, approach me wanting to pet my dog.
I of course let them. They were “ooo-ing” and “awe-ing” the whole time. Giving me the best piece of eye candy I had all day.
I know one doggie that will be getting extra treats today.
I’m one of those girls who’ll give your dog inordinate amounts of attention if I think he/she is cute. As long as your dog is at least 15 lbs and even remotely approachable, I’ll comment on what a cute “puppy” you have and possibly come over and pet him/her, with an especially friendly “OMG, PUPPY!!!” at big dogs and bully breeds.
The OP should volunteer to babysit some toddler and younger kids. Guy with a baby. Way more chick magnetism than guy with a dog. Make sure the kid hasn’t learned to talk.
It works both ways, too. As a young woman, my wife had a Siberian Husky (which is why we have two now) and would walk her in parks and near ball fields where young guys were playing softball, for example. They would come over and gush all over the dog, and my wife felt like a star, getting all this attention, albeit by proxy.
Even when my wife and I are walking our two Huskies, young women (mostly, but a lot of guys, too!) come up to us to pet them, and my wife comments on how easy it would be to use the dogs to get dates.
It’s so funny—every time we walk past, there are people watching them, going, “Awwww…”
I hear ya. When my beagle was alive we lived downtown and walked all over the place downtown. One night this guy was sitting on a park bench eating a hot dog. My beagle sat and looked at him…he looked at her…she looked at him…then he gave her a bite of his hot dog and asked me out for dinner the following night.
Another time my dog led me right up to the fire station where the fireman were hanging out. They petted her and gave her water and let her sniff around the fire trucks. Oh yeah, there were extra treaties that day.
Yep yep yep. I love it when a big dude stops to pet my dog and starts baby-talking him and kissing him on the head. Some people (of both sexes) just turn to mush when they see a dog.
