When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
Was it Nintendogs? I think there was also a game called Petz or something like that.
Not Nintendogs. May have been a Petz game, but I'm not too sure. Edit: Fairly sure that it wasn't a Petz game. If you have seen the chats in Fire Emblem where it has two characters, one on each side, it's like that when you chat with other characters.

I used to have this dog video game from 2005-2010 or so, and I remember the person who gave you the dog was named Chris or something of the sort, your best friend was either April or May, or some other month name, you entered your dog in dog shows, you didn't have to walk the dog, and the music sounded barkish at times and happy and bouncy. If anyone has any leads, it was for the Nintendo DS. Many thanks!
