And what about the shadchan who set my daughter up with a boy who owns a dog (forget about the halachic issue of whether or not you agree it is ok to own a dog). My daughter clearly and emphatically said she does not want to go out with any guy who wants to have a dog or cat in the house, or who has one in his parents’ home, because she is terrified of dogs. That shadchan set her up with three different guys who have dogs. Clearly someone is not paying attention. it is not something she will “get over.” At least, there is no guarantee of that, and you don’t try to put two people together with the hope that one or the other will drastically change an important aspect of his or her life.
