The Rules
You have four Good Doggo actions and four Bad Doggo actions.
Bad Doggo actions don’t require you to roll, but using them will give you a ‘Bad Doggo’ point. Get three Bad Doggo points at the same time and you are a heckin Bad Doggo. You’re get sent back to your cage to await your fate. Oh heck!
Once you have used a Bad Doggo action, you can’t use the same one again until you use a Good Doggo action.
Good Doggo actions require a roll. Roll a 6 sided dice and get equal to or greater than your Good Doggo action score to succeed. If you succeed, remove one of your Bad Doggo points.
Bad Doggo actions:
Bork – BORK! BORK! – Bork to do a frighten to a Hooman or Doggo or to warn your Frens of danger.
Mine – so ownership such resolve – keep hold of an item when someone tries to take it away
Attac – it’s the one that says bad motherhecker on it – do an Attac on a Doggo or Hooman to get them out of your way

Running a Game
How to run Encounters
Most Encounters can be overcome by using Good Doggo actions or Bad Doggo actions.
Some Good Doggo actions have corresponding checks:
Brave – Doing you a frighten
Protec – Doing you a grab
Fren – Telling you a bad pupper
Fetch – Doing you a hide
Players can use a Bad Doggo action to overcome these as well, but beware – Bad Doggos get sent back to their cages!
