    That’s an amusing article, but I wonder why is the link to an American small-town newspaper site covering a German hobby?

    Don’t call it that to any British people, though, as to them, “dogging” has a very different meaning.

    People can say what they will, but I see this as a great option for folks who shouldn’t have a dog (or can’t) but would otherwise benefit from social interaction. @tacotroubles@lemmy.world mentioned a beer league version. Fantastic! So many ways to wrap this instead of wrapping it as cooky or with an agenda in mind.

      i mean sometimes we see people doing stuff and we know they have issues and for sure need some help, BUT, they could be dealing with it in a way worst way, so I don’t mind. You go imaginary dog people.

      Honestly, they probably are working through something, but if this helps that, and it certainly isn’t hurting anybody else, I wish them the best.

      That one’s impressive because they actually took footage of a real dog and edited it out so well, it doesn’t look like anything is amiss when Shrek is pasted over it.
