A woman has divided people after she offered her pet as a "part-time" dog in a bid to find a free dog sitter while she is on holiday.
The advert titled "Are you looking for a part-time dog? Alternative family" has gone viral on social media.
It read, "Do you love dogs but are too busy to have a full-time commitment or too much financially?"
The ad said, "Tedy is looking for an alternative family. Would you like your kids to have a dog?"
It added, "My mum is happy to share me with you on weekends or afternoons (as per agreement) for an exchange to look after me when she is travelling. Interested to learn more? Please get in touch."
While some peoole said that they would love to have a "part-time commitment to a dog", others slammed the woman for "wanting to leave her dog with strangers to go on holiday."
One user said, "Next thing we know people will be looking to offer a part-time baby. Jokes aside, this is indeed a very clever way to get free pet sitting, but also a win-win for some who would love to have a pet, but can't afford or just don't have enough time."
Another user added, "Pet sharing is definitely a thing. It seems a bit cheeky to me but maybe everyone benefits."
Yet another user commented, "As a recently-single dog owner I would love to do something like this. I love him to death and I can't stand leaving my little buddy at home by himself, so I hardly go out unless it's somewhere I can bring him. Luckily I work from home and you can take your dog almost anywhere in my neighbourhood."
They added, "It's just too expensive to pay for a dog sitter or board him constantly. If he had a "co-owner" I could leave him with on certain days, it would make life a lot easier."
