- Worth noticing
- The site says walks stay on the phone and in iCloud, and Turf never receives the player's location.
Field notes
The described map begins in fog, clears along walked streets, and keeps those routes visible. Marks placed where the dog stops combine into places, while the site describes Rex as a rival who can occupy part of one; walking through his territory or using Bark can drive him off. The page also names four map keepers and assigns them different kinds of goods, from walking gear to stickers and costumes.
