- This seems unlikely to be true but the underlying idea seems plausible: an animal shelter rented out its dogs to people, and the people ended up bonding with the dogs and keeping them.
- I think it's unlikely to be true because of the cost of picking up the dogs from a shelter; animal shelters are usually in out-of-the-way places with low rent, and so it would generally be quite expensive (in terms of time) to pick up a dog for a single walk. I suppose the dogs could have been rented for multiple days, but that seems unlikely because then the adult needs to worry about feeding the dog, taking it to the bathroom, etc.
- ...and it's actually true, although the event was not as successful as the picture indicates (only six dogs were adopted).
