What would you be willing to do for a big paycheck?<\/p>\n
A New York-based pet food company is posing that question with a pair of highly unusual job postings to sniff dog breath and kiss dogs. <\/p>\n
Spot & Tango is seeking to fill two contract positions based in the city that each pay $1,000 an hour. <\/p>\n
“Are you obsessed with dogs? Do you have a nose that can detect even the faintest hint of\u00a0funk?” the posting for a dog breath sniffer reads. <\/p>\n
It sounds simple enough: sniff out the best and worst smelling dog breath according to a “funk-o-meter” evaluation. The job description includes performing close-up breath assessments, keeping meticulous notes and collaborating with canine focus groups. <\/p>\n
Must have a strong sense of smell and love of dogs. <\/p>\n
The second job post is looking for a real good kisser. Seriously. <\/p>\n
“If your friends describe you as ‘the one who always ends up with a dog on their lap,’ this role was made for you,” the posting for dog kisser reads.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The official pooch smoocher will rate and document their dog kisses “with a professional rigor and personal enthusiasm.”<\/p>\n
Both positions are in service of PupGum, the company’s breath-freshening dental chews. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What would you be willing to do for a big paycheck?
