Text: "Puppy Love: Nintendo has gone to the dogs with this summer's most lovable and infectious DS title. Complete with a box full of popular breeds, such as beagles, Yorkshire terriers and Labrador retrievers, Nintendogs allows you to buy puppies, play with them, nurture them and teach them tricks. A walk around the block proves to be an adventure--stop at the park, where your puppy can play with other canines in training, then jaunt to the pet supply store, where you can purchase toys, collars and doggy shampoo. A well-cared-for puppy will respond in kind by learning its name and voice commands that are associated with a collection of tricks.

Once your pet has taken to your commands, you can show it off in competitions that test its physical abilities and willingness to behave on cue. Even when you're not training or showing your four-legged friend, puppy interaction is precious--a game of fetch with a ball or disc often turns into a prolonged scratching session with your little buddy rolling onto its back to expose its soft belly. Dog lovers are sure to jump at the opportunity to keep a pack of puppies in their pockets for a quick exchange of affections on the go. -George S."
