Welcome
Welcome to StreetLife, a realistic Canine RPG that currently does not have a plot. We do have three packs, each with thier own interesting plots between them, but nothing sitewide just yet.
Meet Meguel and Anika, our new mascots! Find Anika in IC and she may give you a treat. Watch out for Meguel, he likes to play tricks and take your Karma Points!
Thanks to BladeLiger for drawing up our mascot!
