New dating apps for dogs developed

A new Tinder-style dating app for dogs called Tindog has been developed to help users find their dogs the match, as well as form friendships and love connections with other owners, International Business Times reported.

Developed by London-based start-up Holidog, the app would allow animal lovers to find a partner by using global positioning system (GPS) location data to suggest nearby matches.

"Dogs bring so much joy and love that they really have the power to connect us," Julien Muller, founder and CEO of Holidog, was quoted as saying.

"That's why we wanted to make it easy for dog lovers to meet new people around them who feel the same way," he added.

Once matched, dog owners are able to chat, share photos with and meet other puppy fans in their area.

"Whether it's building new friendships or even making a love connection, Tindog is a great way to expand your social circle with others who love man's best friend just as much as you do," Muller said.

Tindog is available for free on both Android and iOS devices.
