What’s better then taking your pet out for a little walk and maybe finding a little tail? Why letting you come along of course and making an date out of it.

And if you don’t have a date – then just take your 4 legged friend and let them help you find one. (a cute pooch can be a real turn on). Now your pet must be restrained / leashed at all times and no outside food or drink or allowed, other details below:
