Having a dog or walking a dog as company is becoming a trend nowadays. Business people even think of it as a way to make money by the “Rent-A-Dog” business. The targeted customer are those who love dogs but are too busy to keep one. Man’s best friend can be rented for periods ranging from a day to a week, or adopted.
This business has started few years back but recently is becoming more and more popular especially in Japan. According to the ABCNews. In Japan, some are searching for companionship in their old age. For others, dogs are a substitute for children. Whatever the reason, the appeal of dogs has exploded in Japan. There are now more than 15 million pet dogs in the country — that’s more dogs than children under the age of 13.
Some people think that it’s a bad idea to Rent-A-Dog cause they don’t care for the dog’s feeling. But on the other hand, if someone really likes dogs but can’t commit, Rent-A-Dog could be a solution for them, far better than keeping a puppy and dump them few years later for whatever reasons. What do you think?
