Own a dog for a day!

Ever been strolling through the park, enviously watching dog owners play with their pets? Now you can own a dog for a day?

For a rental fee, after signing a waiver and passing a background check, you can have a large/ small, cute/ugly, longhair/short haired pup delivered to your door.

Perfect for meeting ladies... Great for keeping you company on lonely days/nights. Or, see if your children really are responsible enough to own one.

Seriously good idea here, cf2. My boyfriend's daughter desperately wants a dog, and her poor mom is running out of reasons why they can't just go out and get one. (Her latest response, when asked to buy a certain breed of dog: "They're tricky.")

Your solution would make everybody happy ... especially the animal shelters, which regularly deal with the results of impulsive pet purchases.
