Laura Wilkinson-Rea, Senior Director of Comms, UK at Tinder, says: “It’s clear that dogs are loved by Tinder members with 10% of our members including ‘dog lover’ as one of their Interests on their Tinder profile.”

“That’s why we’re so excited to be bringing together dog lovers and their dates in real life by launching our first pop-up pub experience, The Bark & Spark. Answering singletons’ calls for shared experiences and providing a low-pressure way to make real world connections, it really is a win for all four paws.”
