I have had several dogs.
Women only seem to approach if it is a puppy or small breed. They never approached my Pit even though she was very sweet and gentle.
Recent experience:
At the beach two days ago a very tan, brunette woman in a thong bikini and big sunglasses approached and started petting and baby talking my puppy. She even got on her hands and knees to play with the dog.
At the dog park last week, a red head who kind of looked like Lindsey Lohan came over to see the dog and we chatted for at least half an hour.
Getting a dog as a way to score is kind of lame IMO, but as long as the animal is well taken care of, it’s not the worst thing in the world.
It will give you a hobby that gets you outside and practicing conversation with attractive women. That way when you are out without your pet, conversation with attractive women is not as foreign or awkward.
