[M4F] How I accidentally set up a date for fido
Trigger warning - beast themed RP. This is fictional, all characters and events are fictional.
Premise: as a joke, my character sets up a tinder account for Plato, his bull mastiff-mix and ends up setting him up on a date with a young lady

This was probably all my doing. It all started on a Friday afternoon when I found an idle moment in the middle of all the chaos that goes with working from home. After sitting through meetings, sorting through a deluge of emails and rescuing the door dash driver who lost his way in the rain, I finally found time when I could actually be productive but I was fairly bushed and ready for the weekend already. Just a couple of things to do and then I’d meet up with friends down at the climbing gym - I just need to keep my eyes open until then.
I take the tech worker mini-break which involves flicking open Reddit, then Instagram, then the dating app you have installed and kept “hidden” deep inside your iPhone. My wife would pull my arms off if she knew I had it but I liked looking at pretty ladies and chatting them up on the internet. It’s not even window shopping.
That’s when I hear the clinking of chains and a plaintive whine behind me and turn around to see Pluto’s huge, doleful face - leash in mouth - as he pleads for a walk. “Can’t it wait till the evening, lad? There’s a cyclone on” I say, pointing at the window and then remembering that I actually had plans too.
“I wish you had a social life” I say, scratching his head “why can’t you go make friends to do stuff with, huh?” I say, the smile on his face broadening, his tail starting to wag. “Two hours” I tell him, well aware that he practically flunked obedience school and had the language skills of a potato.
That’s when a stupid idea occurred to me and I snapped a picture of his smiling face and with that and three others I happened to have on my phone I constructed a tinder profile:
————————————
Name: Plato
Age: 28 (dog years were implied)
Perks of dating me:
- I’m guaranteed to scare creeps away
- Ishmael will cover all incidentals if you take me out for a nice long walk
The key to my heart is: Head scratches, long walks, a whole raw salmon
My guilty pleasures: Stealing food off your plate when you aren’t looking, jumping into every puddle in sight, sticking my nose up skirts 😜

“What do you think, fella? I’ll bet they’ll be lining up around the block”
This done and with a little humour in the tank, I let him settle down with a chew toy and got back to work. An hour later I pulled my phone out and on a whim checked the app to see there were actually some right swipes

Kinks: beast, conversation, maybe mild degradation
