Love my dog, love me?

Hank, a roommate in a large house I shared with seven other students one college summer, always said Justin was the ultimate chick magnet.

Justin was Hank's handsome white German shepherd. All Hank had to do was tie a bandana around Justin's huge neck, snap on his leash and take him for a walk -- preferably at the park that bordered the women's college, where debutants accompanied by their horses went for their higher education. Hank and Justin always came back with a few numbers.

This ploy can be yours.

The Jewish Community Center of the Greater Palm Beaches is holding a Dog Walking Day in the Park, Bark Bark and getting some exercise isn't the only goal. The event is part of the JCC's singles program.

The walk begins at 6 pm this Sunday (Sept. 14) at Pooch Pines in Okeeheelee Park, 77715 Forest Hill Blvd., West Palm Beach. It's open to dog lovers age 21 to 45 (and for dogs of all ages, I suppose). To RSVP, e-mail TamaraL@JCConline.com.

So just curious: Anyone out there made a love connection at the dog park?

My co-worker Laura attracted the attention of her future husband as she drove around town with her giant mastiff, Tara, in the back seat. Now that's how to stop traffic.
