Uber moves from kittens to puppies launching #uberpuppies to bring dogs to people’s desks

February 25, 2016 7:59

Ride sharing app Uber is reviving one of its biggest public relations stunts of 2015, where it brings animals to people’s offices, only this time instead of kittens it’s puppies.

Uber today launched #uberpuppies, which as with last year’s #uberkittens will be part of a drive to raise funds and awareness for animal shelters.

The initiative launches today between 12pm and 4pm in eight locations around Australia, with people able to order 15 minutes of cuddles for $40.

Who cares. How about getting back to work, and screwing over the corrupt Australian taxi industry – and reducing the price of your own fares. Oh, and get that stinking mutt away from my desk.This is an office, not a veterinary hospital.
