Matt's puppies
The cute little bugger in the picture is Servo, my first Nintendogs puppy. He's a shiba inu and an agility trial champion, pretty decent with the disc competitions, and an absolute disaster in obedience trials. I've had him since August 11, 2005, when I acquired one of the advance copies of the game from a friend.
You may have come here because your pup met Servo or one of my other pups while you were out trying out Bark Mode. I hope you enjoyed the gift he brought you (assuming, of course, I haven't run out of gifts to give), and I hope your pup and mine had fun playing.
I'd like to encourage you to keep trying out Bark Mode everywhere you go, and to not skimp on the gifts -- have faith that your fellow Nintendogs owners will reciprocate! Bark Mode may be a pretty minor thing, but playing Nintendogs all this time has showed me that a game made up of minor things can add up to a tremendously fun package. I know it was a hit in Japan at least for awhile, and I hope that that success can be recreated stateside.
Anyway, feel free to drop me a line if you had fun playing with my pup, and let me know a little bit more about yourself!
