DockDog for macOS
Pixel pets that live on your Dock — design your own,
and see your friends' pets run around too.
First install (one time, ~1 minute):
1. Unzip, drag DockDog.app into your Applications folder
2. Double-click it — macOS will show a warning. Click Done (not "Move to Trash"!)
3. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll to the bottom — you'll see "DockDog.app" was blocked → click Open Anyway and confirm
4. Look at your Dock 🐕 — the menu lives in the menu bar (pixel-pet icon)
5. Sign in from the menu and add your friend's code

Why the hoops? The beta isn't Apple-notarized yet, so macOS blocks the
first launch. It's one time — after that, updates arrive automatically inside the app.
