Typically I finish a level leaving  9 stars uncollected. At about 2,500,000 points per star at the end of a level in order to get a gold medal. And 10 gold medals to get a dog.

So, at about 800,000 points per 20 energy, that's over 5600 energy per dog shop to get a dog at the second or subsequent dog shop that you could be doing other things with.

One level takes about 1500 energy. So instead of getting the gold medals necessary for a new dog, you could go up about 4 levels instead. Plus, the higher l;evel dogs are not cheap. However, at high levels, they do find energy.

There are only 72 levels. I think I'll just go for it with my entry-level dogs and see how it goes. I think that if you are not dextrous, getting upper level dogs might be a good idea, the dogs would end up doing more of your work for you. But ut's not automatic, of course.

If anyone who has a top-level dog and is happy with it, please post!
