🐾 Instructions for Collecting Pet Images & Writing Fake Profiles

1. Folder Structure (to keep things clean)

/assets
   /images
      /cats
      /dogs
   /profiles
      cats.json
      dogs.json

---

2. Collecting Pet Images

Goal: 20–30 pet images (cats & dogs), clear and cute.

• Rules:

  1. Only square-ish or portrait images (easier for swipe cards).

  2. File format = .jpg or .png.

  3. Rename files clearly:

     • dog_01.jpg, dog_02.jpg
     • cat_01.jpg, cat_02.jpg

• Save them into:

  • /assets/images/dogs/
  • /assets/images/cats/

3. Writing Fake Profiles (JSON Spec)

Each pet profile = one JSON object. Fields:

{
  "id": 1,
  "name": "Bella",
  "species": "dog",
  "breed": "Golden Retriever",
  "age": 3,
  "gender": "female",
  "location": "Hanoi",
  "bio": "Loves long walks in the park and chasing tennis balls. Looking for a playful buddy!",
  "image": "assets/images/dogs/dog_01.jpg"
}
