If you find yourself walking a few kilometers to hatch eggs in Pokémon Go (http://mashable.com/category/pokemon-go/), you may as well do a good deed while you're at it.
Munice Animal Shelter (https://www.facebook.com/MuncieAnimalShelter/) in Munice, Indiana, is hopping on the game's crazy following by encouraging players to take one of their pooches out for a walk while they hunt for Pokémon on the streets.
