The Guardian and making new local friends

14 January 2014

High paws to the Guardian for woofing about BorrowMyDoggy in their January issue of ‘Do Something’.

BorrowMyDoggy was mentioned in a pawsome article on the ‘Five easy ways to make new friends’, as a way for dog lovers to spend some time strolling with a four legged furry friend. The lovely article written by Rhik mentioned how there are plenty of social benefits to walking a dog, especially “as any dog owner will verify, a dog at your side turns any walkable location into a hub of friendly activity.”

The article went on to a chat with our founder Rikke, and explained how BorrowMyDoggy was started to bring local communities together, high paws!

We’d like to say a huge thanks to the Guardian for writing about BorrowMyDoggy and we absowoofly agree that dogs really do help us to meet new local friends :)

Woofs and tail-wags,

The BorrowMyDoggy Team
