Jeff: Now, those guys are irresistible! I think I have a business model! Cute, huh? Joanie: Um...we're thinking of getting a pet? Jeff: No, I'm thinking of starting a business - renting puppies to guys as chick magnets! Women can't resist stopping to pet 'em! A puppy makes a guy seem non-threatning and unafraid of commitment and responsibility. I could make a killing renting them out by the day! Joanie: What happens to the puppies when they grow up? Jeff: Grow up? Joanie: Right. When they're no longer cute? Jeff: Um...I'll release 'em back into the wild. Joanie: I like the responsibility part.

Unfortunately this is all too true! And you can add cuddly kittens and bunnies into the mix as well.

I’ve never seen a dude walking his bunny on a leash as a chick magnet before.

Must be a Volunteer state kind of thing. Lots of bunnies in Tennessee.

Joanie has no call to play “holier than thou”. How many women make pets of men, then release ‘em back into the wild when they’re no longer cute?

I’m talking about “disposable” cute baby animals, they grow up and get dumped. With Easter coming chicks (a different kind, guys :)) can be included.

Moral of the strip: Think out your plans/ideas before you implement them.

Like smelly fish, some guys (fish) aren’t keepers. The ones that are, get kept for half a century like mine!

just as a poll of interest, what breed(s) does everyone think make the cutest puppies? I cast my vote for German Shepherds.

Basset hounds. HUGE paws and ears in relation to body size. They are constantly stepping on and tripping over their own ears.

My border collie was a pretty cute puppy. A very lovely adult now.
