Dog lovers, take note.
<p>Dig, The Dog Person's Dating App, is a thing, and it's beautiful. </p><p>Sisters Casey and Leigh Isaacson created the app in 2016 after Casey's relationship with a guy who wasn't much of a dog lover ended.</p><p><strong>As Leigh <a href="https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/dig-the-dog-persons-dating-app-to-launch-in-miami-11121682" target="_blank">recalls</a>:</strong></p><blockquote>"He would put towels down on the couch. Basically, [Casey] turned to me and said, 'I wish I just knew from the start that this wasn't going to work because of my dog.'"</blockquote><p>Dig made its debut in New York City on Valentine's Day 2018 and debuts in Miami next month. It's launched in ten cities thus far.</p><p><strong>The app is set up much like Tinder or Bumble, but it also asks users if they have a dog––or if they're looking for someone who has one.</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

The people become more human by having their dogs with them."</blockquote><p><strong>The website makes this one of the app's big selling points:</strong></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">
