Be careful – lots of scams start this way.
I’ve used the puppy scam many times, just not in that way. My technique is to wait for a warm Spring day. Take puppy (or niece or nephew) to park. Wait for an attractive female to notice the cute little doggie. (The smart male will select a clever name for the dog, so that he can show his cleverness when a female asks, What is your dog’s name?) With the niece or nephew variation, the uncle can show that he is a good guy, values family, and is a responsible human being, and thus worth spending more time with.
The Puppy Master will not own the dog, but hire himself out as a dog walker, and thus get paid while he networks.
