Dogs, that is. It's no secret that Zynga loves dogs, and that admiration for our furry friends will continue in the Ville, as you've been given a single screenshot that hints at least four different dogs coming to the game "soon."

While details are sparse, you must wait for the lastest news. If this is a feature that's similar to dog or "pet" releases in other games (FarmVille or CastleVille, for example), it's likely that there will be a large variety of different dogs to purchase for Ville Cash and only one or two available for coins. Or, in the case of the "free" pet, you might receive one through an adoption agency quest series (or something similar). In the picture, one dog can be seen which is playing with a stick, so it's also possible that you'll be able to train these dogs to perform tricks or at the very least "fetch."

Again, all of this is purely speculation, based on what you've seen in other Zynga games, and the only concrete fact you can do know right now is that dogs are indeed coming to the Ville. Their exact date of arrival is still unknown.
