This lady has not yet gone the whole way with a Doggy Date but is very close to it. She is a gal who likes options. Option 1- this cute little dog on her lap. Option 2 - this fascinating chap.

Therefore, she warms up to the D Date idea by going on an actual date but taking her Doggy Date with her too in case the real date is totally duff, she has a back up so either way she will not go home alone.

Smart. That is what you call forward thinking.
