Hi

What is the meaning of the phrase "filters out dogs"?


Thanks.

It doesn't mean anything beyond the literal meaning. That is that whatever is being referred to acts as a barrier to prevent dogs from entering.

I imagine, on a dating site, that the phrase "Not interested in one-night stands" on a lady's profile might filter out a few dogs as well.
