Interview with the CEO of Fido Factor, Justin O'Neill at this years FailCon conference in San Francisco.

From the Fido Factor site:
"The goal of Fido Factor is to:
  • To make dog friendly policies the norm rather than the exception. It's our magical little dream that dogs will eventually be welcome everywhere!
  • Provide dog owners with information on which places are dog friendly and how to visit each safely.
  • Let the community determine which dog friendly spots are the best of the best.
Here is what you can do on Fido Factor:
  • Find local dog friendly restaurants, stores, bars, parks, lodging and attractions as well as pet stores and dog services!
  • Use your iPhone or smartphone to find dog friendly locations on the go and submit reviews and add locations through our free iPhone/iPod Touch application.
  • Learn important dog policy information for each location, e.g. permitted dog size, leash policy.
  • Become a local ambassador and add to your city's dog friendly listings. Our system supports the entire country, but we need your help adding locations. If you know a place is dog friendly that we don't have, plug it in!
  • Read and write dog-specific reviews for each location you visit.
  • Share your reviews with your Facebook friends through Facebook Connect.
  • Post questions and let your opinion be heard in our forums.
  • If you're local to the Bay Area, take advantage of the Fido Factor San Francisco SPCA training discounts.
  • Charitably support The SF/SPCA when you add or review locations in our home base of San Francisco.
Fido Factor has made giving back to the community a top priority. Each time one of our members adds or reviews a location in San Francisco, Fido Factor will make a donation out of our own pocket to The San Francisco SPCA to shelter, care, and place homeless dogs in new homes."

Some folks might want to make believe and give him fake wings and put a horn upon his face And have hi
