Can you teach the pet management genre new tricks? NBC's The National Dog Show and Purina seem to think so, and they've released an adorable new Facebook game called Dog Show Friends to prove it. But before you pick it up, keep in mind that this puppy's not fully grown. Since it hasn't yet launched its eagerly awaited competition and trophy modes, it currently plays like a merely enjoyable, though standard, pet management game. The good news is that it does this well, and what we've seen so far bodes well for the changes on the horizon.
Games like Touch Pets Dogs and Nintendogs are popular for a reason: dogs are inherently lovable. So it should come as no surprise that 4mm Games decided to bring a similar experience to Facebook in the form of Dog Show Friends. We've spent some time with the game and it's shaping up to be just the thing for social network dwelling dog lovers.
