Primul serviciu de închiriere a câinilor cu ora, direct de la proprietar. Nu mai ai grija creșterii lor • Newsweek România

A Chinese platform, Wangfu, has launched a dog rental service allowing users to rent dogs by the hour from their owners. This service caters to those who love dogs but cannot own one. Users can enjoy the companionship of a dog without the long-term commitment of pet ownership. The rental fee ranges from $1.5 to $9 per hour, and the service is available in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai. While some view this as a way to encourage dog adoption, others raise concerns about the emotional stress on dogs due to frequent changes in their environment and caregivers. The platform includes safety measures such as identity verification and real-time tracking of the rented dogs.
