In Order to find the bones, you must scavenge from trash cans, beg at restaurants, and generally behave like a "dog about town". But remember, it's every dog for itself and the competition is tough. Dogs must "mark their territories" in order to slow other dogs down, and fight bravely against bullies trying to steal their bones. And don't forget the merciless Dogcatcher! Each dog is very different, with varying skills and breed characteristics. Whether you're a wily poodle or a healthy husky, the task is not an easy one, and fortunes change at the flick of a tail. After all, it's A DOG'S LIFE!
