Not to be sniffed at - 'The Dog' Launches on iPhone & iPod

Manchester, February 9th 2010 - Connect2Media has today launched 'The Dog', a new iPhone and iPod Touch app that lets players go 'walkies' with a collection of lovable puppy playmates that live inside your device.

 

Based on the iconic puppy photography brand, the application offers five adorable puppy breeds that require lots of love and attention from their new owner. Using the devices' touch screen control, players must groom, wash, train and play with their new canine friends to keep them happy. The app includes five adorable puppy breeds including Labrador, Yorkie, Boxer, German Shepherd and Beagle.

 

Sporting The Dog's close-up photographic style, the app is the closest you will get to owning a real dog without any of the mess, walks on cold days or chewed furniture. You will have lots of fun getting to know your puppy and exploring the game world together. Take a walk to the park, run around in the garden, go and play on the beach or enter dog shows. With The Dog, the choice is all yours.

 

 

Help your furry friend get comfy in their new home by customising it with items from the store. You can buy new gear, treats and toys for your puppy at the store, from coloured collars to frisbees and bouncy balls. Connect on Facebook and send toys and treats to your friends to give to their puppies in The Dog. Find hidden objects, take your puppy for walks and compete in competitions to earn even more cash to spend.

 

A statistics tool allows you to follow their progression and you can even share your achievements with friends across Facebook. Will you be the best dog owner of the bunch?

 

Keep your puppy groomed, exercised, fed and happy and it will love you forever!
