Has Social Networking Gone to the Dogs?
It was only a matter of time. In this dog-eat dog world, there’s now a social networking site called Dogster for people who think their dogs are the cats meow.
The twist? The profiles are “written by” the pups, who befriend other “pup pals” nationwide.
Since many dog owners treat their pets like people, pooch profiles shouldn’t be shocking. On Dogster, owners create pages for man’s best friend, uploading pictures, video, and stories.
Sheba, a Maltese from Orlando, is an Aries who loves cuddling and hates Milkbones. She’s on the prowl–looking for a mate–and wants to have children before her biological clock stops ticking. Her fido friend list includes a beagle from Montana who’s a member of groups like “Club Bellyrub.”
Other than pretending to be their pets, Dogster members can ask for or give advice, find pet resources, and chat with similar breeds. Adoption is also facilitated.
