Dogs have needs too...

Beijing - One hundred lonely Shanghai dogs will have a chance to find their ideal mates at a dog-dating event hosted by China's first professional online pet matchmaking company, said the Shanghai Daily on Thursday.
The event, later this month, is organised by gougou520.com, which will try to match the pooches with the perfect partners - though it may not only be the dogs that benefit.
"For single pet owners, this may lead to a real romance. We found most people who register are under 35 and working-class
singles," the website's director, Zhou Handong, told the
newspaper.
Zhou said the service had matched 100 pets, using basic
data and personality information, and registered 2 000 since it launched in December.
Raising dogs was banned under the rule of late Chinese
leader Mao Zedong as a bourgeois pastime and was made
legal only a few years ago as living standards rose.
