Based on the 1990s' home computer game, this pet simulator allows players to adopt and raise their own virtual puppies. The DS version of Dogz features nearly 50 individual dogs of 18 different breeds. Players steer their in-game persona to interact with their pet by feeding it and giving the pooch some attention. Three canine-related side-games are available as well including "Run Puppy Run," "Puppy Reversi," and "Puppy Quiz." Up to three puppies can be saved and retrieved for use in "Always Together" mode.
