The Dog Island/The Disappearing Doctor

When you wake up, go to the centre of the village and you will see Francis there with a question mark above her head. Talk to Francis and she'll tell you what her problem is.

Doctor gone Walkies
Francis will tell you that every month, on the same day, Dr. Potan goes out somewhere without telling anyone where he's going. She asks if you can find out and says that someone saw him heading to Zoomy Lake. Don't go through the shortcut to Treely woods, because Petasi will say that he doesn't think Dr. Potan went through there. Instead, go through the arch to Green Meadows. You will see Dr. Potan walking along the path. Go through Green Meadows and then to Treely Woods.

You will see Dr. Potan go across the bridge and then along the path to Zoomy Lake. Go to Zoomy Lake and Petasi will say that you've got to swim to get any further. Swimming is just like walking, except you cannot howl in the water. You need to go down to the beach, then get to the large island in the centre of the lake. There are some steps leading to it, but watch out for the crocodiles in the water. Get to the steps and climb up them, and you will see Dr. Potan. Go near him to find out what the problem is.

Dr. Potan is standing near his friend's grave. He tells you what happened. He says that his friend got sick, and he was trying to make her better, but Obaba told him that his medicine would only make her worse. However, he ignored Obaba, and so his friend died. Now every month he goes to Zoomy Lake to see his friend's grave, and he thinks that she's annoyed that he let his pride get in the way, and also that he keeps looking back to the past. Blaxckie goes back to Pupsville and tells Francis.

Francis thanks you, and tells you that there was someone with a strange hat looking for you. Petasi wonders if it was Yi Lu.

Ring Fragment 2
Go to Green Meadows, and Yi Lu will be there waiting for you. He thinks that you are thinking that you can sniff, so you don't need his help, but you do. He tells you to go and find Ring Fragment 2 which is in Zoomy Lake.

Go to Zoomy Lake, and start sniffing. You will soon pick up a scent and the scent metre will turn pink. You will also see a trail of pawprints on the ground. You need to follow them, and you will come to a gap inbetween one of the small islands and a path leading to the waterfall. Petasi will say that the gap is too far to jump, and it doesn't look like you can get to the path from within the lake either. Then you will see the hippo which is sleeping in a cave at the side of the Lake. Petasi and Blackie will automatically appear on an island with a tree trunk on it. You realise that this is where the hippo likes to eat. Petasi says that you need to find some hippo food, and Blackie sniffs around to memorise the smell.

Sniff around and you will find some hippo food. Take it back to the tree stump and press to place the food down, and the hippo will come to eat. Now you can go bach to the island and hop on the hippo's back to get to the path. Continue sniffing, and you will find Ring Fragment 2.

Take it back to Yi Lu, and he will sniff. He smells something. He says that it isn't Blackie, there is something going on in the Village. Blackie will go back to Pupsville. He sniffs around. The village looks empty... it looks like the village is full of sick dogs!

Deflugi to the Rescue!
Go and see Dr. Potan, and he will tell you that there is an outbreak of the dog flu in Pupsville. He needs you to findat herb called Deflugi. While you are doing that, he'll look at the dogs, but he doubts if he can see all of them... it's times like these he wishes there were more doctor around. He tells you that you can find the Deflugi in Treely Woods.

Go to Treely Woods, and sniff along the side of the river. You should find the Deflugi around here. When you find it, Obaba will come and talk to you. She asks why you are here. Blackie explains the situation. Obaba tells him that Deflugi may not be enough to cure the flu, and asks him to tell Dr. Potan. Though she doesn't know if he'll listen to his advice.

Take the Deflugi to Dr. Potan. He will thank you for it. 'Now I might be able to cure the sick dogs, cough, cough, COUGH' Blackie asks if he is alright.

Dr. Potan has gone to rest on his bed, and Obaba comes into the room. She tells Blackie that she can help, but Dr. Potan hates her. Dr. Potan tells her that he doesn't hate her. You will then see what happened to Dr. Potan's girlfriend, whom he promosed to marry, but got ill. Dr. Potan will say that there is bad Oglu in the river water, but with the Deflugi they can get rid of it. He says that he and Obaba should work together to help the dogs.

Now Dr. Potan has got all the herbs he needs, he is ready to leave for Puroro town. He can leave whenever you're ready. You can leave straight away if you want, or you can stay on the island for a while longer. You can talk to Dr. Potan at any time and select to go to Puroro Town if you want to leave. When you do, Dr. Potan and Blackie will go on El Dorado's ship back to Puroro Town.

To Puroro Town
Once you have got back to Puroro Town, Dr. Potan will go and look at your sister. He tells you that you should say hi to your neighbours. Go back to your house (and speak to the neighbours on the way if you want) and Dr. Potan will examine Maria. But...

Dr. Potan says that this is far worse than he thought. He won't be able to cure your sister with his herbs, but he can slow down the symptoms from getting worse. He says that he has heard of a flower called the Legendary Flower, with the ability to cure any illness, which grows somewhere on The Dog Island, though he doesn't know where, and he also doesn't know if it actually exists. Blackie decides to go back to The Dog Island.

El Dorado takes Blackie back to The Dog Island in his boat, thankfully there are no storms this time and you don't have to do any work on the ship either.
