The Bottom Line
In this original game by SimplyFun you start off by placing the dogs in a long line, head to tail, and then create your own line of dogs by playing cards. Be careful how you play or the dog catcher might take some of your dogs away! Be the first to get five dogs in a row and you automatically win.

Guide Review - Walk the Dogs: Family Game Review
The game says it's for ages 8 to 99 but my daughter who's 4 1/2 loves this game. Of course she doesn't quite get the strategy factor of the game but for the most part she understands how to play. Not only is this game a lot of fun and really cute, it's quick paced too. I recommend this game for all kinds of families, it's even perfect for a Family Home Evening activity, or just for fun! What's great is that you can watch an online video from SimplyFun to actually see how the game is played!
