social networking for pet lovers

Pawspot is apparently where local pets and people meet. Currently in the beta stage, this site offers a place for people and their darling pets to arrange play dates, exchange pet-sitting, and discuss pet-friendly stuff with your neighbors.

Considering that Parisians are pretty obsessed with their dogs, this seems to be the perfect spot for them to exchange caring and training tips with other dog-lovers. Dogs are even allowed in all sorts of public places ranging from restaurants to in the subway. This was completely different from the U.S. where dogs (and other animals) are only allowed inside if it's an assistant for people with disabilities. Unless I'm completely blind and ignorant, I have a feeling that dogs are welcome everywhere in France.

Funny thing is that I've never seen a Parisian with a cat. Maybe all the cats stay indoors.
