Unveiling the Secrets: Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life - Must You Feed the Faithful Dog?

In Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, players can take care of various animals on their farm, such as cows, sheep, goats, and more. Upon starting the game, players are even given a cute pet dog that wanders around the farm. However, taking care of the farm animals involves providing them with food. Some players may be unsure about how to feed their new pet dog or if feeding the dog is necessary, since there is no clear way to purchase food.

Virtual dogs in video games are beloved virtual pets, and Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life enhances the collection of adorable virtual dogs by allowing players to choose between a dog with pointy ears or floppy ears as their farm pet, which is a gift from Takakura, a resident on the farm. However, in this remake of the original GameCube release, there are certain changes to the process of feeding the dog in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life.

How to Feed the Dog in Story Of Seasons: A Wonderful Life

In the original Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life game, players were required to place foraged treats, such as wild plants, into the dog's dish to feed it. However, in the 2023 remake, Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, feeding the dog is no longer necessary as the family-friendly NPC Takakura is responsible for this task.

Players will notice that Takakura makes daily visits to the farm, performing various tasks including collecting farm items to sell. Furthermore, Takakura ensures the dog's well-being by supplying dog food and filling up its food dish located next to the dog house. It is important to note that dog food cannot be purchased within the game.

Dog Choices and How to Train the Dog in Story Of Seasons: A Wonderful Life

Players do not have to worry about feeding the dog in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. However, they may be curious about how to interact with it. In order to increase the dog's affection in the relationship meter, players can choose to pick up the dog and engage in conversation, which will cause a green or red heart to appear.

Additionally, players have the option to teach the dog various tricks such as jumping, begging, pawing, and spinning. This can be done by pressing or rotating the corresponding buttons, such as turning the left stick if an Xbox Controller is being used.

In the Bag pause menu, players have the opportunity to view various statistics about the dog residing with them. This includes valuable information such as the relationship meter. Additionally, it is important to mention that deciding between a pointy-eared or floppy-eared dog does not affect the game's storyline or gameplay. Therefore, the choice ultimately boils down to the player's personal preference.

Players are required to name their dog, and if they're unsure about a suitable name, they can draw inspiration from famous dogs in movies or popular culture. Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is currently accessible on PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
