And Please Read This!!! *2026-02-19, version 1.2* The missions were really hard because the other dogs just kept attacking me and I chose a type of breed that was cute, but it didn’t seem to really fight back much. Also there were glitches when I tried to run by pressing the run button it kept turning the run button off. Also I wouldn’t recommend this app to people because it wasn’t that great. I think that you should have more access some places. I’m being nice by adding an EXTRA star. ### 2/5 — If you want to get a little more of an idea about what you want *2026-01-19, version 1.2* It’s ok ### 3/5 — worth it…ig *2025-12-21, version 1.2* ok at first this game wasn’t so bad, but when u get to level 67(seriously not on purpose-_-) all it does is glitch. The screen cam won’t zOoM out, and my pack mates just randomly die. I would get this game, not really recommend it tho Lots of howls, Alpha Wolf~Lily🐾 ### 3/5 — Great but *2025-10-05, version 1.2* No ads that’s so good but can the developer please make also I know that you are safe and no one can attack you in this like a happy world in this game I would give it five ⭐️ I promise please make a safe version ### 4/5 — Ok game *2025-06-17, version 1.2* I get that this game is old but now looking back it could have been better but other than that it’s good ### 3/5 — This game is so cute! *2025-06-08, version 1.2* I absolutely love this game! It’s full of adventure and fun Tysm for making it! ### 3/5 — This is a kind of good game *2024-12-28, version 1.2* I was playing a game I kind of glitched and it’s not really funny. You don’t let a kid get caught by the dog catcher. I can’t even find them when you try to kill a person. They just were in the way really fast and it’s really boring so never mind you should not get it. I recommend sorry you should not get this game bye. ### 5/5 — PAWsome game! *2024-12-11, version 1.2* I love ❤️ playing this game with the dogs 🐕 and the fun park 🎡🛹🎢 such a PAWsome game good job of making it!. ### 5/5 — L *2024-11-30, version 1.2* IT’S SOOOOOO GOOD I LOVE DOGS!!! ### 4/5 — Grass *2024-11-17, version 1.2* Bring back the old grass texture, the new one sucks, it’s ugly green and looks like it’s full of weeds, the old looks well treated and a beautiful green was way better, I hate the new update it kinda ruined the game and it’s dark at at night, except the background sounds is back this is very great news. ### 5/5 — I love dogs *2024-11-03, version 1.2* 100 /10 so good it was worth buying it ### 5/5 — I love dachshunds *2024-10-25, version 1.2* I got this game because I love dachshunds. But, there is only 2 confusing things. 1. How do you change your dog? It says return to the menu, but there is no menu! 2. Why can’t you have puppies? I wish you could. ### 2/5 — I don’t really like it without multiplayer mode & chat *2024-09-14, version 1.2* Erm.. 😐 I do not like this game bc it makes me feel lonely and I would love to have babies with another dog so I wouldn’t be as lonely PLS make this happen 😔 ### 5/5 — A wolf dog's story *2024-07-03, version 1.2* Chapter 1: All alone... It was a cold winter night, civilians walking around with their coats, walking past and not noticing my half buried body in the snow. I gazed at them with a soft whimper, not understanding why they were ignoring me. Did they see me? Are they just ignoring me? Do they just not care? The thoughts swirled around in my head, my pitch black fur covered in the heavy snow. I was just a pup, Too afraid to wander far. "Why hasn't my family found me by now...? do they even still care about me...? Or did they just give up..." I thought, my ears flattening against my head, my small body curled up motionlessly in the snow. I didn't even realize I was drifting off to sleep, I was so cold, but it didn't matter much to me. I just missed my family, I didn't know if they were ever going to find me, but I hoped they did. I soon fell asleep, dreaming of their faces and all the time we spent together, especially with my mother. I was more of a mama's girl. Chapter 2: Stranger (Morning) I woke up almost completely buried in the snow. I growled, slightly annoyed before getting up and shaking the snow off my fur. The sun was just starting to make its way up, and light slowly crept across the city. I walked over to a small trash can, knocking it over to see if there was anything inside that I could eat. I was so hungry, I was willing to eat anything that was edible. All that I saw was a half eaten old chicken leg. Hopefully that was enough. I gnawed at the chicken leg, it didn't taste great, but it was just okay. I finished it off and raised my head, only to see a flash of glittering ivories snap shut right where my neck was a split second ago. I jump back with a yelp, bearing my teeth and snarling, tucking my tail between my legs in fear. Chapter 3: Friend? "Oh, my bad I thought you were one of them stupid alley cats, god they annoyin' as heck." A husky said, backing up. "I don't look like a cat!" I yelled, trying to growl intimidatingly, but instead sounding like a tiny pup. I could tell he was holding back a laugh. I growled in annoyance. "Who are you? Go away!" I said in a gruff tone. "The name's crow, you?" "I... I don't really have a name." I said softly. "What? Every dog's got a name, and another thing, what's a little girl like you doing round here? Where are your parents at?" He asked, sniffing me slightly. I don't know where my parents are, and I don't have a name." "Oh, so you're completely alone out here?" "Yes..." I said. "Well, First of all, you're going to need a name. I can't just keep calling you pup. Any suggestions?" He woofed. I just stood there, silent. "No? Well, how about kala?" "No, that sounds like i'm from the 80's or something" I said. "Melody?" "No..." "How about Trixie?" I nodded. "That sounds nice." ### 5/5 — Update *2024-06-12* Make sure that when the dog catcher catches you, you end up in a shelter, please🥺 ### 5/5 — funny *2024-06-05, version 1.2* But why pee ### 5/5 — Nitole *2024-04-26, version 1.2* I’m am amazed ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Love dogs? *2025-03-08, version 1.2* I love DOGS because they are so SWEET! But you have got a point they have super fun rides to explore I just LOVE GLUTEN FREE GAMES because it’s so fun for kids and parents and I first had a gluten free game last year in 2024 in summer. ### 1/5 — Große Enttäuschung…😔 *2023-12-27* Es ist wirklich gar nicht toll es hat mich sehr Enttäuscht 😔 ich bin einmal ganz normal die Straße entlanggerannt als auf einmal ein Hund auftauchte ich bin an ihm vorbeigerannt aber ich bin nicht nah dran vorbeigerannt😒 Er ist mir gefolgt hat mich angegriffen und dann kamen auf einmal drei Hunde die haben mich alle einfach angegriffen!😤 Und natürlich bin ich dann gestorben😤 Ich hab ja schon viele Simulatoren von Gluten free aber es ist wirklich…scheiße!!!!😤🤬😔 ### 1/5 — I just agree with Hofa808 *2020-11-28, version 1.2* It’s the worst simulator I’ve ever had why do dogs run away and I can barely I almost die every single time and it’s the worst dear and make just make it better make it like Hofer 808. ### 1/5 — Really boring *2020-10-28, version 1.2* Well basically you need way more dogs because it’s just boring,and every time I lvl up a dog from my pack disappears.There is no safe zone of button where you can just play and all the dogs your running from or catcher just comes threw your home and gets you,it’s so boring ### 1/5 — Not happy *2020-10-18, version 1.2* You said every breed but I got the game and there is no Rottweiler ### 1/5 — Highly disappointed *2018-12-26, version 1.2* You guys make his game soo good and when I actually download it, it is so bad.

Also: ADD PUPPIES. And if you DO have puppies already, tell us how to get them. And can you make there be more information in the information tab? LIKE HOW TO GET THE PUPPIES?!?!?! SERIOUSLY ALL I SEE IS ENEMIES LIKE DOGS AND THERE STATS AND BASIC CONTROLS SO CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL US HOW TO GET PUPPIES OR ADD PUPPIES!!!!!!!!!!!(pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease.) several people have asked for puppies so please please please add them. And soooooo many people just hate on you because there game crashes but then they say, “oh yeah, and it’s my phone doing that, but I just want to blame you.” So don’t listen to them but listen to the people that are polite and respectful when asking for things. I’m sorry if you don’t think I am. Can you also make the dogs not attack you unless you eat their food or attack them. Recap: add puppies, a forest, dog catcher NOT take dogs, more information, and less aggressive dogs. Okay, tell me if that’s too much. Story: Raven was lost. Her family had been taken away and left her as an abandoned pup. She was starving. Then she saw dogs. “Oh no, they’re going to kill me!” She thought. But the dogs were friendly! They knew she needed milk, so one of the female dogs supplied it. She explained that she had lost all her pups to the dog catcher and was so sad she could barely eat or sleep for weeks. Then they saw her and she wanted to help. “ I don’t know if I can,” she said, “ I just keep thinking about my pups.” “So don’t,” Raven said, “ You couldn’t stop the dog catcher, but you could prevent him finding us by hiding me!” So she did. And she did until Raven grew up. Now she was the fiercest warrior of her pack. But, she still remembered her first family. Once, she saw her sister, Cantaloupe. She was on a leash, and saw her. She mouthed, “Hide, before the humans see you!” She obliged. Then she went back to the pack only to see them dead, a pack of bulldogs standing over them. One of them was Sawdust. She ran, her paws fast as lightning. Soon they were gone and she ducked behind a shed only to see a greyhound. He didn’t move. She said, “I’m Raven! What is your name?” He let out a breath, then said “My name is Egret. I’m so sorry if I seemed mean, I just didn’t know if you were friendly, thank goodness you are!” My pack died, can I join yours?” Raven asked, “My pack was killed, but we can make our own!” Egret said. They soon had pups. Most died or got taken, but one survived. They named him Cantaloupe. The end. PS: Raven is a greyhound. Her caretaker is a Doberman named Salsa. Raven’s family is named Carrot (mother) Glen (father) Cantaloupe (oldest) Zebra (second oldest and oldest son) Summer (second youngest daughter and made it into Raven and Egret’s pack after escaping from her abusive owner) Wasp (youngest son) The pack that took her in is Cocoa (Alpha) Dragonfly (Beta) Wolverine (Hunter, male) Potato(Hunter, female and Cocoa’s daughter) Midnight (Patrol, male) Sawdust (Patrol, female) Coconut (healer, male) Salsa (healer, female and Raven’s caretaker) and Tomato (Omega) Cocoa is a dachshund. So is Wolverine and Tomato. But Potato and Dragonfly are Jack Russels and the rest (excluding Salsa and Sawdust ) are greyhounds. ( Sawdust is a bullmastiff and Salsa is a Doberman) PPS: this is a story I made up. Raven is a Jack Russel. Most of it I made up except for the backstory. It is true she lost her family but they were Jack Russels too. But there names and ages are same as they are in PPS No.1(see: PPS No.1 for other facts about the story) Part two (also made up) below Raven was happy. Her life seemed perfect. But then the bulldogs came to kill her. The Alpha was Sawdust and she sneered. Then she charged. Raven jumped straight up and Sawdust ran into a wall. Raven spun around and bit her neck. Sawdust screamed and thrashed, then lay still. She was dead. The bulldogs were retreating but then Cantaloupe came and attacked them. Then Egret joined in and a big fight broke out. The bulldogs were dead, but Cantaloupe was dying too. He rasped out, “Find her, find my pup, and take care of her. She is at the lake, waiting. Fern, my mate, is with her, tell her, please.” He croaked the last few words. Raven and Egret ran to the lake and saw Fern, dead, and lying beside her was their grandpup, Raven took one look at her, then said, let’s call her Destiny! The end. ### 5/5 — I really love this game but I wish it had more breeds To be *2026-03-24, version 1.2* I love this game but it would be better if it had more dog breeds ### 5/5 — Great game!!!🤩 *2026-03-21, version 1.2* 2 things,I love this game and I really want a ultimate goat simulator 🐐🐕 ### 5/5 — 🐔🐔🐔 *2026-01-12* Здравствуйте.

I recently turned 10 years old and I have a problem with getting apps, there all so boring 🥱 . Then I downloaded something called wolf simulator which I thought was pretty cool. But then I saw there was a hole pack of stuff like that so I went crazy!🤪 so I got an app called falcon simulator and for a while, I really loved it. So then when it was my birthday (July 7th) I asked for stray dog simulator. I said that I was making a Collection of these apps. But there was something different about this app. It was….. addictive… so I played and played till I got to level 15 were u can bond with another dog. Then I got to level 30 were u can increase your family! I’m still in level 30. The dog catcher is also very funny 😆, all he says is “here,here,here,here,here,” it cracks me up! So If ur 9 or up, u should get this game! Ty for reading! ### 5/5 — German Shepherds!! *2025-05-05, version 1.2* They are one of my favorite dog breeds! 💕💕💕💕 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
