Do you rent DOGs ??

I just saw the taiwan news from my scv and there is this new dog related business going on in the states; a new store had just open in the UK.
Its the "Rent-a-Dog" service.
Meant for those urban dwellers that don't have the time or space to keep on a full-time basis.
But thats pricy to pay for such service. Members get to choose from 10 dogs; avaliable from their program.
Customers pay a one-time $150 training fee plus a $99.95 annual fee and a $49.95 monthly fee ($599.40 a year). That doesn't include the dog.
It costs between $24.95 and $39.95 a day -- plus tax and up to $35 in delivery fees -- just to rent a dog.
All in USD
But in my opinion, people think that theres no commitment in renting a dog. but has anyone think how the dog will feel? Lets put it in this way.. will you rent your kids to those who have none? And those who doesn't have kids would be glad to have kids for rent; all because they could have someone to accompany and spent time thru out the weekends. Would you every rent your child? ?? Would you??
Think about it people.
Dog have feelings; like people does. Would you feel sad if someone's leaving? Dogs does too. People just takes dogs and cats for fun. Anyway, just some info.

Afraid that doggies run away when you bring them out?
SOLUTION:
All FLEXPETZ dogs are fitted with a GPS tracking collar that allows for immediate location detection in the event that a FLEXPETZ dog and a member become separated. The device also incorporates an environmental temperature sensor that alerts FLEXPETZ instantly if the dog's surroundings fall outside of a predetermined safety range.


Are the doggies well-behave?
I guess so. FLEXPETZ dogs receive regular "refresher" training sessions with our certified dog trainers.


Will FLEXPETZ come to Singapore?
hmm not sure but; I pray hard not to.
