More about this game
The goal is to return all 15 service dogs to their correct handlers after a leash mix-up at the park dispatch. You check each dog's profile for their breed, age, role, and a specific family clue. By cross-referencing these hints with the 8 handler requirements—like the Police officer needing two dogs or the Guide-dog family needing three—you deduce who belongs to whom. You page through the available dogs and handlers to make matches. The run ends when all 15 dogs are successfully matched with their owners.
Tips
- Check the Relationship board in the Clues menu to see the full family trees, like how Smudge and Luna are Shimmer Junior's parents.
- Pay close attention to surnames and handler roles; for example, Dandy Thompkins belongs to Lisa Thompkins, and Jimmy is a professional clown.
- Handlers need a specific number of dogs, shown by the empty dashed slots on their card. Matthew needs two, while Jack needs three.
Questions
How do I know which dog goes to which handler?
Read the dog's profile for their role and family clue, then check the Clues menu. Match these details to the handler's job and the number of dogs they need.
What happens if I guess wrong?
The game will tell you the dog doesn't belong with that handler and remind you to check the clues again. There is no penalty for guessing incorrectly.
How many dogs are there?
There are 15 dogs in total that need to be reunited with their 8 handlers. You can use the arrows to page through the remaining dogs and the handler list.
