This Princeton grad really wants to walk people’s dogs

AN IVY League grad has posted a searingly funny, and seemingly genuine ad on Craigslist promising to make people’s dogs “happier than a Mormon on his honeymoon”.

‘This isn’t algebra, folks; it’s dog walking’

A CRAIGSLIST ad penned by an Ivy League grad has hilariously offered up his dog walking services to all of Seattle’s “rich ass dog owners.”

In a self deprecating, expletive laden and confrontational post, the author requests the honour of caring for the pooches of busy professionals and promises “the most radical, bitching, mind blowing dog- walking experience in all of Seattle.”

The ad goes a long way to assure the owners of the positive experience the dog is sure to have saying, “your dog is gonna be on me like Charlie Sheen on a porn star,” and promising that he will make the dogs “happier than a Mormon on his honeymoon.”

Although the ad does admit that there’s little skill in the role, “This isn’t linear algebra, folks; it’s dog walking”, the poster is clearly hoping to get more than a few jobs from the post.

The ostensible motivation for posting the ad is to make a little cash on the side. And given that youth unemployment in the US is just shy of 13 per cent, it is not surprising to see people taking unorthodox approaches to gaining new revenue opportunities.

The author claims to be a Princeton grad and with the average cost of a four-year degree at Princeton coming in at $A267,247, let’s hope he gets plenty of responses.
