Dog's Life/Characters

Here's some info on the characters from Dog's Life.

Jake
He is the main character in this game, and he's a dog on a mission. A mission to save Daisy. Jake was born in Clarksville and has lived there all his life. He never strays from the Farmhouse much, and so not many people know his name. He also has a feature called "Smellovision" that can only be used by him, and also knows a lot of Doggy Do moves that other dogs don't know.

After Daisy was dog Napped, he fell out the truck and so he didn't see where the van went. That's why he set out on a journey across the states to find her. He may not be the toughest dog around, especially when he starts to loose health, but he's definitely one of the kindest as he will never do the opposite of what you say.

Daisy
She is the reason why Jake is going on this journey. She is the reason why there is even a game about Jake. Daisy is Jake's girlfriend, and she too lives in Clarksville, it's just a shame she doesn't feel the same about him. She doesn't seem to be impressed with Jake, especially when he does his farting trick, but when she gets dog napped, the last thing Jake sees of her is her trapped in a cage opposite him in the red van. Her disappearance also leaves her owner Gramps very unhappy.

Some people ask how many bones Daisy has. The answer is, she doesn't have a bone counter! Go up to her in the Finale level (if you have the time) and you will hear the sniffing sound, like when you approach the local dog, but no bone counter will appear.

Wayne
One of the culprits who took Daisy, and doesn't seem to enjoy his job much. He has a bad sneezing problem, as he's allergic to dogs. He also has a very squeaky voice. He tends to get a bit annoyed with Dwayne though sometimes, whom he is stuck with in their red van.

Dwayne
He's not the smartest man around, so he's lucky he's got Wayne around to... sometimes... help him. He seems to really like 'doggies' and is thinking of opening a hypo-allergenic dog grooming parlour, so people like Wayne can enjoy playing with dogs.

Miss Peaches
Miss Peaches owns a cat food factory ('Miss Peaches Crunchy Cat Food') and is quite strict. She says she has a secret ingredient that she plans to use to make her new 'Miss Peaches Cat Food in a Can', and some people have heard the sound of dogs coming from her factory next to the Dog Pound in Boom City. She says that she's built a dog shelter, but there's rumours going around that she's up to no good.

Most of the cars driving around have a bumper sticker which says 'I ♥ Peaches'. They must all be big cat fans.

The Dog Catcher
He traps dogs for a living, so you'd better watch out. He's got a well trained Doberman that will chase you, so you'd better be careful. The dog catcher is hiding in the Clarksville Centre, the Café, Boom City Centre, the Park, and especially the Dog Pound. He also seems to have an endless supply of newspapers, and his life-long dream is to program computer games.

Local Dogs
In every level in the game (except the Dog Pound and Finale) there is a local dog who you can beat at two challenges and take control of, which is needed to get more bones.

Lopez
Level:Farmhouse

Lopez isn't the biggest of dogs... in fact she's the smallest, because she's a Chihuahua, but that's a good thing, because Jake can certainly smell something inside the farmhouse... but he's too big to get through the doggy door! She only has a measly 1 bone, so she's not too hard to beat, either.

Dalmatian
Level:Watermill

He's very spotty, and a very fast swimmer, so see if you can 'spot' him in the Pursuit challenge to win and get the bone away from that pesky swan! He has 4 bones, that's more than Lopez, but as long as you've been paying attention at the Farmhouse, you should have at least 9!

Border Collie
Level: Big Field

She's not the most active dog, in fact she spends a lot of time lying down, and that's exactly what she'll do after beating her in a contest, but try and take control of her to ignore her lazyness, and herd all the sheep. She seems to have only been bothered to get 5 bones, so she's pretty easy to beat.
