"This is a game intended to teach children about dogs. The rulebook has a general information section on dogs, including what meaning of different behavior in dogs, what an angry/scared dog looks like, and how to teach children about dogs. Sometimes, the rules instruct the players to act dog like (barking, rolling etc.)
The game includes a board with an imaginary village printed on it, 4 playing pieces (dogs) on plastic bases, a deck of cards which represent 24 breeds of dog - some of which are "leaders" - and one 6-sided die. All of the dogs belong to families living in the village, identified by the first letter of a dog's name.
The game is subdivided into 6 different variants:
Game #1: 2-4 players, 10-15 minutes. This is described as a "warm-up" game, the board is not used. Players are "leader" dogs trying to gather their own pack by drawing cards blindly. The player with the most dogs after all non-leader breeds have been drawn wins.
This game also has a solitaire variant.
Game #2: 2-4 players, 30 minutes. Again, the players represent leaders trying to gather a pack. This is accomplished by visiting the 4 houses in the village to pick up dogs, then take them to the dog park.
This game has rule variants to make it a bit more challenging.
Game #3: 2-4 players, 20-30 minutes. Again, the players represent leaders, but this time they already have a pack. The players must return the dogs in their pack to the families, then find a way to their own house.
Game #4: 3 or more players, 10-20 minutes. This time the players must co-operate to gather a pack and take it to the dog park, playing against time (die rolls).
This game also has a solitaire variant.
Game #5: 2-4 players, 20-30 minutes. This is basically a version of the Game of Authors - players are trying to complete series of dogs belonging to the same family.
Game #6: Solitaire, variable playing time. The aim is to rescue dogs from the kennel by pairing up the kennel dogs with free dogs."

Nothing at all wrong with second had things. I love garage sales most of all. I don't live very close to a lot of second hand stores ( I mean we do have some in the nearest town but it's not something I make a special trip for). But garage sales I love them!! I have found all sorts of kids toys, clothes and even an electric smoker for $5. It works wonderful too. You can find so much at garage sales around here. My niece has 4 children all under the age of 8 so she goes to the thrift store often. The boys can were hand me downs but the only girl finds lots of good, new looking clothes there. nfd♥

Shuffle the cards and go around the board, laying down a card, face down, in front of each house (on the table/floor) until all are distributed. Place your chosen dog on the center space (playground, I think) and roll to see who goes first. Your goal is to collect each of your four dogs (you're supposed to collect the color which matches your dog playing piece)by landing on houses and removing dogs you find one at a time. Collect them then be first, by exact count or not, to return to the board's center space, where you started. Just follow the roll of the die. We play that we don't have to use the complete roll of the die when desiring to stop at a house - it keeps the play from becoming tedious.
