Little Friends Puppy Island

Little Friends: Puppy Island sets up a chain of puppy-care activities on a holiday island spread across eight locations: sandy beaches, snowy mountains, cherry blossom groves and more. You meet stray puppies on walks, bring them home, then bathe, brush, feed and play with them to raise obedience, agility, endurance and friendliness stats.

Building fills the resort side of the loop. Gather resources from the island, then place puppy spas, training schools, frisbee parks and accessory shops at unlocked spots. Higher stats open new areas the puppies can reach with you.

Nine breeds (Shibas, Labradors, Corgis, Huskies, Pugs and others) come in over 140 coat variations, and the wardrobe stretches to 350-plus outfits and accessories from tiaras to sunglasses to mohawks. An in-game camera saves photos of the runs. Developed by Sonar Entertainment and aimed squarely at younger players and animal-game fans.
