Have you ever wanted to run with the wolves? There's an app for that! Well, sort of. Workout Woof is an app designed to connect people who want a furry workout buddy with dogs who need some extra exercise. Developed by dog-and-fitness lover Mark Mancuso, Workout Woof aims to help build community and connections between dog owners who need a little help and dog lovers who can't take on the full responsibility of dog ownership, but still sometimes need a good walk with a canine companion. Tune in for a conversation with Mark about the inspiration for his app, and how he brought it to life.
