A Dog’s Story – Free App for Apple and Android
My review: This free app is great for teaching kids to interact with
dogs safely. It contains a minimal amount of marketing from Pedigree.
My three-year-old loves to play it, although needs help with reading the
choices offered through the adventure. A great game for kids of all ages.
From app store:
PEDIGREE® A Dog’s Story™ is an interactive adventure that teaches
