According to new research by pet care marketplace Rover, people are more likely to match with someone whose online dating profile includes a dog. So if you’re struggling on the quest for romance, a pic of your favorite furry friend could help you out – and if it’s a golden retriever, even better. Rover recently surveyed more than 1,000 pet owners who had used dating apps and found that over three quarters (76%) of them would be more likely to match with someone who featured a dog in their photos or bio. Over half of single pet parents (51%) confessed to including a dog in their dating profile to increase their chances of drawing in a potential match. And over a quarter (24%) admitted they have featured a dog that wasn’t their own, in order to spark a conversation with a love interest. The research narrowed down dog breeds to work out which pup is the real-life furry Cupid. Golden retrievers ranked in first place and were crowned the breed most likely to positively influence matches. Labradors, cockapoos, cocker spaniels and border collies also ranked in the top five.
