⚡ What Man's Best Tomodachi does
Every 60 seconds at base weight, the Shiba Inu has a 15% chance to dig up a random seed. Like the other digging dogs, it can't dig up event or limited seeds.
🆚 Shiba Inu and the other diggers
It starts higher than the Dog (5%) and Golden Lab (10%) on the same cooldown. The Golden Lab's chance grows twice as fast, though, so the two tie at 20% at 100 kg. The Bone Dog matches the Shiba's chance on a slower cooldown but has its own exclusive seed.
