Obituary
GOOD DOG is a game in which the player spends three days in a shelter as a real dog, one of twelve taken from real shelter listings. The player cannot speak, only bark, whine, growl or stay quiet.
It is a single Go binary with the frontend embedded. The repository was created on 14 August 2026 and last pushed two days later.
One of the twelve dogs, Bella, went home on August 15 while the game was being built, and the game says so.
What it taught me
The engine owns truth and the model owns wording. A model never decides what happens next.
