Dr. Paulette Kouffman Sherman
This article is in response to research from PARSHIP (UK’s online dating service www.parship.co.uk) which said that if push came to shove 25% of singles would favor their pet over a date! While pondering the pros and cons of each, dogs fared surprisingly well, but as a dating expert, in the end I gave it to the dates…Here are the tallies. What do you think?
