Rod

portrait

This cheery fellow runs the pet shop in the plaza. He will sell dogs, cats, and a horse you can raise on your farm. You can also sell unwanted pets back to him. Rod is proud of the fact that he knows a lot about pets, but if something comes up that he doesn't understand, he can become unsure of himself.

Rod is a childhood friend of Allen and they share a lot of memories together. He also likes to hang out with Neil since they both have a passion for taking care of animals.

To unlock Rod, you will need to start Town Renovation Plan #3 and build the Cottage. The house requires 35 Small Branches, 25 Material Stone, 40 Lumber, and 5 Wool. You can get wool by shearing your own sheep or by sheering other players' sheep inside of the wifi animal land field.

Rod is grumbling in front of his bookshelf. He explains that he needs to know a lot about dogs, horses, and cats, but helping you take care of the chicken reminded he knows almost nothing on how to take care of birds. Rod has been reading about all types of animals, but realizes that books aren't simply enough. The more he reads, the more he recognizes that he just doesn't know enough about animals! Rod feels inadequate and pathetic that he runs a pet shop and yet doesn't know all the things he feels he should of known.

Rod is looking pretty depressed. What should you say?

Rod and Allen are talking, but Rod seems to be only talking about you. Allen isn't even paying attention. Rod catches onto Allen's spacing out and tells him he is being rude. Allen replies that he's tired of Rod telling the same stories over and over! You walk into the room, and Allen asks you talk to Rod about you being the main topic of conversation all the time. It's all he ever talks about! Rod says he'll cut back on the girlfriend chatter since you asked. Allen wonders what is it about Rod that makes you want to date him anyway.
