Is there an app that turns a photo of my dog into a pixel pet?

Yes. Migachi is an iPhone app, coming soon to the App Store, that draws your dog or cat as a pixel pet. You pick dog or cat, give them a name, and start with a photo of your pet. Your pet lives in a little pixel house called Rose Cottage, with a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom and a yard (a patio for cats) to explore. Up close you can cuddle your pet, play, practice tricks and give a treat. Migachi is for adults 18 and older, and it is a subscription, with the details shown on the App Store before you pay. If you like the idea of a small, calm companion that looks like your own pet, it is built for that.
