**** NOTE FROM THE CREATOR ****
When I made this game, I wanted to create a game that all ages could play. Something that would be fun and cool for everyone. I wanted to eliminate blood and gore, heavy violence, and release something that was positive and up lifting. There are enough violent games out there. It was time for a new type of game that simply doesn’t exist. However, this game does have very minimal cartoon/fantasy violence towards dogs and humans, but it’s for a specific reason. I wanted to show and highlight what an actual crime-fighting K9 could endure. The game was never made with the intention to glamorize harming dogs as “cool” or “fun”. The only intention of this game is to provide the world with something new, fun, and creative. I’m happy and proud to release this game to the world, and I hope you all will enjoy it! I thank you in advance for your purchase, and I look forward to bringing you more amazing content soon!
