Give this "Island" a chance

Dog Island is about an adorable puppy doing tasks.
Those of you still not scared of a cute game will be rewarded with a surprisingly good adventure game.
In Dog Island, you play as a puppy whose sibling is sick. In order to save your sibling, you go on a quest to a place called Dog Island.
Once on Dog Island, you have to perform many, many "find this", "find him/her" and "fetch that" tasks over all of Dog Island.
I found it exciting to explore Dog Island, talking with the inhabitants and going on these tasks.
The characters are great and the story is gripping. I also liked trying to find all the fish, flowers and bugs on Dog Island.
Yes, the tasks do get derivative, but no more than your average shooter where all you do is shoot people, aliens and/or monsters.
The only problems I had with the game is the controls for fishing and pulling sleds are clunky. But that's not hard to overcome.
This game isn't for the youngest because doggies get sick, and one puppy dies.
But I think Dog Island is a great game for older kids, especially if they're into adventure and dogs.
