Okay, I admit that I have a few qualms about bringing animals into the dating game. But. Well, let's face it. Not only is a hottie with a pet even hotter, a furry friend also equates to vastly increased approachability.

As far as I can tell, there are two sides to this equation. Either 1) you've got a handy and lovable pet to accompany you on hottie-hunting escapades, or 2) you're pet-less but still equally on the market. If the former describes your circumstances, you've got to visit George -- the uber-hip accessory store just for four-legged friends:

[$70 - $90, George]

Trust me, doggie fashion -- when done right -- will draw attention like a magnet.

And if you're pet-less, a simple word of advice: complimenting someone else's pet will get you all kinds of brownie points.
