Feed the Stray quest walkthrough in Tiny Bookshop
To complete the Feed the Stray quest, you need to feed the dog at The Waterfront the correct food item. Although you'll come across plenty of items you can buy around the world, only one will satisfy the dog and unlock them as a loyal companion. There are also a few requirements you have to meet before this quest will be unlocked, so here's a full breakdown of what you need to get done.
- Visit The Waterfront.
- Find the dog by scrolling to the far right edge of the screen.
- Interact with the dog.
- Scroll over to the left edge of this area to find Walt.
- Interact with Walt.
- Continue to visit The Waterfront and talk with Walt until he invites you to the Fish Market.
- Attend the Fish Market.
- Purchase a Raw Fish.
- Feed the stray dog.
The key part of this quest is getting to know Walt better so he'll invite you to the market and allow you to purchase items from his special shop. Just keep talking to him and working through any tasks he gives you until you manage to acquire the food item you need.
What do you feed the dog in Tiny Bookshop?
While you might be tempted to search for dog food or a bone out in the world of Bookstonbury, you actually need to feed the stray dog a Raw Fish. This item can be purchased from Walt at The Waterfront for 12 coins.
His shop's stock changes each day with three random items for sale, so it might take a while for this item to be available. Be sure to check his shop by talking to him every time you visit this location, so you can unlock it once it becomes available in the store. It should always be available during the Fish Market, so this is the best time to check for it, but it's also obtainable outside of it.

Once you have the Raw Fish in your inventory, head back to The Waterfront to find the dog. Interact with them and select the "Yes buddy, this is for you!" option when the dialogue says that the dog starts "intently eyeing the fish."
Next, select the "Yes" option when the dialogue asking if you would like to adopt the stray pops up. After this, the dog becomes yours, and you can place them down anywhere you like around your small bookstore.
