If you want a date, maybe you should get a dog, first.
According to new research at UNLV, those who own a dog, not a cat, may have better luck finding a date. The study found that women, especially, found dog-owning men more appealing.
Owning a dog may be seen as a better measure of a potential mate's caregiving capacity.
UNLV researcher and anthropologist Peter Gray led the study, and tells KNPR what prompted his students interest.
