do pets help humans meet romantic partners?

MOUSEMATCH is a dating service for mouse fanciers where people meet and interact via their pet mouse. Mousematch is organised by different genetic strains of mice and owners can establish contact through their breeding profiles. A wearable tube-like habitat permits the mouse fanciers to bring their mouse to dates and events. These mobile habitats allow the owner to interact with their pets as well as a place for their mice to play. Mousematch offers humans an alternative way to meet a compatible partner.
