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 4 bones, so she's pretty easy to beat.

Pug
Level: Chicken Farm

He's easy to catch in the Pursuit, you can easily beat him in the Tug-O-War, and all because he only has 5 bones. He may look like a Bulldog, but he isn't, and aslong as you can beat him then he might be of some help in finding pieces of newspaper...

Snooki
Level: Village Houses She's a puppy, so it's no wonder that when you take control of her, Jake says 'I feel years younger, how cool is this!' You'll be needing her help, because Mary-Jane has been grounded, and Snooki is the only one allowed inside the house to bring her a note! Her size also could help you if you were interested in that smelling thing inside the greenhouse. Easily beat her in a race of digging challenge, because by now you should have more than 6 bones!

Doberman (Killer)
Level: Clarksville Centre He isn't exactly the cutest of dogs, and if you have 15 bones (the same as him) or less, Jake will be too scared to go near him! He'll chase you if you happen to come across his owner, the Dog Catcher, but in this level, he might help you sort out that mean shop lady. Providing you have the bone power, that is. But when you get further in the game, he'll have 50, 70 and even 90 bones! That Dog Catcher is spoiling him!

Boxer
Level: Café He's a bit of a wonderer, and he aslo has better grip on ice than Jake has, but if you worked hard in Clarksville you will be able to beat his 20 bones in a Digging Challenge or a Race, and he can help you to get rid of some annoying pests bothering the customers.

Weimaraner
Level: Ski Slope As probably the best at jumping in the whole of Lake Minniwahwah, it's no surprise that he can get onto a path that Jake can't. If you beat him in a Race or Tug-O-War, and you have more than his 25 bones, he can help you get the hat for the man controlling the chair lift. A strange thing about him is that he seems to be able to walk normally on that ice slide.

Husky
Level: High Street Like the Weimaraner, he has 25 bones, and he can walk on slippery surfaces. So, beat him in a challenge, and you might be able to get the helicopter down from the building. Jake needs help with this because the roof is so slippy that if he walks on it he will fall down to the ground... Ouch.

Bull Mastiff
Level: Mountain Tops As his breed suggests, he is one of the stronger dogs, and he can move a log that's way to heavy for Jake. So, aslong as you can beat him, you have more than his 30 bones... and you know how to move a box... then he can help you to find a way of getting to the cable car operator's lost brother.

St. Bernard
Level: Mountain Slide St Bernards were bred for one purpose; mountain rescue. That's why you'll find him as the top end of the level (mind the boulders getting there!) If you have at least 35 bones, you can hopefully beat him in a Digging Challenge or Tug-O-War, and he can revive the man's brother. Now all you need to do is get him to the ledge...

Pixie Frou-Frou
Level: Hotel So what if she's a tiny minuature Pinchsher, her owner wants here to catch ten rats! You can beat her in a Peeing Challenge or catch her in a Pursuit, but Jake's still sure that she won't be able to stand up to those rats. Well, she might do if you're controlling her. All you need to worry about before hand is that you have more than her 35 bones.

Alsatian
Level: Station

Whippet
Level: Park

Greyhound
Level: Boom City Centre

Now you know about the main characters in the game, but there are many humans and animals in the game not listed here. You can meet them only if you play the game.
