What I like here is the focus on the mechanism behind โ€œPawMatch: Finding the Dog That Matches Your Personality ๐Ÿพ.โ€ A useful follow-up would be one concrete before/after metric: what changed in latency, error rate, review time, or operator workload once the approach was applied?

That sounds like a good next step. The mechanism is what will make the project easier for people to trust and extend, so it is worth making visible when you are ready.

What are your thoughts about street dogs?

Well, they are awesome as well. Every dog has their own story just like us. Some survived harsh weather, some got abandoned, some got lost from their family, some got killed in an accident and some saw their closed one getting dying on the streets and they couldn't do anything. So, yeah they are the most strong survivors that should be loved and cared as well. If dogs could talk we would have gotten unlimited books and podcasts on how their childhood was or what they have gone through. But, the cruelty is a home dog is treated with care and the street dog is treated with sticks. I wrote too much, what are your thoughts on them, do you like your street dogs or you take care of your street dogs.

What you said is so true and really important. Itโ€™s not a small thing at all. I really donโ€™t like it when kids throw stones at dogs or trouble them in different ways.

When I was in the village, we used to give the first roti to the cow and the last one to the dog. Weโ€™d let them eat first and then have our food. Now that Iโ€™m in the city, itโ€™s a little difficult to do that, so I give them Parle-G instead. Whenever I go near them, they come running to me. Theyโ€™re honestly so sweet! ๐Ÿถโค๏ธ

Yea, exactly troubling them is the worst and people enjoy hitting them as they won't abuse them or slap them right in the face.

That's a great and wonderful gesture. Giving the first roti to cow and last to dog. Good, atleast you are taking good care of them by feeding them. Don't know how many days can they go without food. They are sweet and you as well. Keep doing this good deed and keep taking good care of them. Always be this kind and sweet towards animals.
