Instructions
Walk, play and care for your dog to improve its overall condition, as detailed in the game's tutorial.
Check your dog's condition by tapping the dog's name on the touchscreen. To encourage the dog to run away, it must be in a good overall condition. If any aspects of its condition are not listed as Good or Very Good, continue caring for and training those aspects of the dog until it achieves a higher standard.
Leave the game running but do not interact with the dog for approximately one hour. During this time, the dog automatically runs away and returns with a present for you.
Check the dog's condition again when it returns. Certain aspects will have deteriorated during its absence and should be improved to get the dog back into a good overall condition.
