Rod

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.

The two of you press on and eventually make it up to the top of the hill.

Rod lays out the picnic and invites you to eat up. You're a little nervous about his cooking abilities, but he explains that he lives alone so he does know how to cook.

Rod hopes to go out with you again soon.

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?

Result: +3000
Option 2: I'll teach you

Rod is happy that you're willing to teach him and explains how he would care for chickens. It doesn't sound like he's doing it right. Rod assumes that maybe you don't know and so he leaves to go ask Neil.

Result: -2000 FP, +1 AP,
Option 3: Try looking after some animals

Looking after an animal is probably the best way to learn. Rod has a friend who works at a zoo, and so maybe his friend would allow him to look after some different animals. Rod is happy that you're encouraging him to keep trying.

Result: +3000 FP
Option 4: You're pathetic

Hearing his girlfriend say that magnifies the hurt he's feeling. Rod isn't going to give up though, and dedicates himself to learning all he can and to do his best. However, your words make him want to cry.
