A Shiba Story is a game about everyday life with a Shiba Inu.
You are a rookie dogsitter who’s been asked to care for Sunday, your uncle's Shiba Inu. Sunday's a cute dog, but this is no easy assignment for someone new to the world of canines: He's stubborn, difficult, and he won't even let you pet him! Can you learn the art of dogcare and win this persnickety pup's friendship?
Make memories with your new canine companion as you scoop up poop, play fetch, and explore a quiet city neighborhood. Learn to understand Sunday’s moods and mannerisms - from his body language to his unique barks - to make him happy. Earn Sunday’s love and respect and maybe you’ll even get to pet the dog!
