Found your true love? If your thoughts drift to your potato chip stash or constant Netflix bingeing affair<\/a>, you might need some help in the department de amour. If you\u2019re ready to spend quality time with a soul mate, it\u2019s time to get serious. However, that mythical flying cherub with love-laced arrows made to magically match you with the one person you won\u2019t kill for leaving the cap off the toothpaste isn\u2019t going to cut it.<\/p>\n Any plan to deliver you from the doldrums of your love life needs real bite, not the weak gums of a fat baby. What if the ideal matchmaker was an unfailing judge of character and loyal to a fault \u2026 and furry and adorable as all get-out? What if Cupid were \u2026 a dog? Maybe, specifically, your dog?<\/p>\n Cupid cutie:<\/strong> First of all, he would be way cuter. And have a\u00a0 way better name, like St. Fluffentine, Dapper Dog, Matchmaker Muttenstein or, for the less imaginative, Pupid.<\/p>\n Photo: Justin Young | Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n No ice to break:<\/strong> Who needs to melt the ice when an animated adora-dog is there to melt awkwardness, spark conversation and offer the comforting bonds of something shared in common?<\/p>\n Photo: Thinkstock | Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The perfect matchmaker:<\/strong> The partner-vetting process suddenly is very simple. We all know that dogs inherently know who\u2019s good and who\u2019s not. Pupid would weed out those people he knows would be bad for you.<\/p>\n Easy with that arrow:<\/strong> St. Fluffentine\u2019s \u201carrow\u201d wouldn\u2019t be some cold spike but rather a 6-foot leash, ready to tangle two star-crossed lovers together, and a lolling tongue, perfectly made for dog kisses<\/a> that could lead thoughts toward human smooches.<\/p>\n Added attraction:<\/strong> Dapper Dog will make you seem more attractive to the opposite sex. Who wouldn\u2019t want that? Studies upon studies show that animal lovers \u2014 dog lovers in particular \u2014 display more positive traits like loyalty, compassion and kindness.<\/p>\n Photo: lexei_tm | Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Walk your way to love: <\/strong>Shy? A homebody? Walking a dog is one of the easiest ways to make friends. Matchmaker Muttenstein would provide you the motivation to get out and hang where other dog lovers frequent: dog parks, dog beaches, dog-friendly trails and pet stores \u2014 all are perfect places for Pupid to do his work.<\/p>\n Photo: svetikd | Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Digs under the surface:<\/strong> St. Fluffentine goes for quality over superficiality. If you\u2019re not an Ivy school graduate and rolling in money but have a heart of gold, a witty sensibility and a sense of adventure, this lapping flufflebutt of love will help others see and appreciate your many charms.<\/p>\n Photo: adamkaz | Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Double the dog:<\/strong> While Dapper Dog is at it helping you find a whirlwind romance meant to last, he would look out for his own self-interests, too, and pair you with a sweetie who also has an awesome dog with whom he could romp and spend his days.<\/p>\n Read Next: <\/strong>Why Do Dogs Win Our Hearts?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The post What If Cupid Were a Dog?<\/a> by Ellyce Rothrock<\/a> appeared first on Dogster<\/a>.
