WARNING: This game is difficult.
This game focusses heavily on invoking emotion rather than excessively exploring gameplay elements. Seeing the world through the eyes of a dog is what drives this experience through its story. Be warned, however, that this game is quite challenging. This difficulty level is made to better simulate the realistic horrors that some pets are sadly forced to endure. Keep in mind that every aspect of this game is possible, but may take some serious thought, planning, and emotional involvement to succeed.
If you are not prepared for an extremely challenging experience that focuses on a realistic--albeit sad and unfortunate--take on an abused dog's life, this game is not for you.
The Story
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a dog? Their lives seem great from the outside! Sleep in, play with toys, chase squirrels, and bark at cats while never having to work a day or pay a penny of tax in their entire life! But have you ever wondered why they tremble in fear at the shock of loud booms and crashes, force their hackles up and yelp uncontrollably at unsuspected visitors, or cower in utter terror when reprimanded by their owner?

Play from the perspective of a small, innocent Jack-Russel Terrier living in an abusive household. Maintain your needs and desires to bark, sniff, chase, and find treats, as you try desperately to escape the house in which you have been forced to call home.
