I. INTRODUCTION
__________________________________________________________________

Welcome to my Dogz II FAQ! This guide is meant to help you better understand
the wide world of Dogz II. This is the third FAQ that I have written and my
second PC FAQ. All of my FAQs can be found at www.gamefaqs.com. Dogz II is
a PC game, in which you can take care of virtual dogs. It's sort of like a
tamogatchi, only it's a dog and you don't have to clean up after it.

IV. THE PLAY AREA
__________________________________________________________________

First off, the controls:
-Left Click: Pick up items/Pet your dog
-Double Click (left): Call your dog
-Right Click: Pick up your dog

When you boot up Dogz II, pets will come in the play area from outside. If
it's the first time you've booted up Dogz II, then it will load the adoption
center where random dogs will come in. Right now, we'll assume that you're
booting it up for the first time.

_________________________________________

ADOPTION SCREEN
_________________________________________

On this screen, there is a vast array of things you can click on. We'll go
through them step by step:

*Door: Click this to open up the door. Click on it if a dog appears at the
door. This also is to let a pet out. If you don't like a pet, pick it up
and put it on the door. This will make the dog run out the door.
*Lock: On the bottom, in the middle of the door, there is a lock. Click on
it if you don't want pets to come in.
*2 buttons above the door: These show which dogs are out at the time being.
If there are no dogs out, it will say "Choose A Breed". Click on it to
choose what kind of dog you want.
*Playpen: If you have a dog already, this will take you to the play area.
*Web: This takes you to the PF.Magic website where you can download dogs
and play things.
*Adopt Now: This will adopt the pets you have on the screen.
*Blue Box: This is on the bottom of the screen. It will tell you random
information that might just help you.

I know there is more but they'll go under the toys section. When you're
ready, return to the playpen or adopt the pets by clicking the "Adopt Now"
button. If you adopt them, it will ask you to name the first pet you chose
and to enter your name. It will show you a screen that you have to accept.
If you do, then click Adopt. If not, then click Don't Adopt.

TOYBOX SCREEN

The large toybox shows all the toys that you don't have on your shelf yet.
If you haven't seen one of them in the game yet, it will have a "new" sign

want onto the toybox.
