What Actually Happened To DogDay In Poppy Playtime Chapter 3? - Story Explained

I felt so bad for Dogday, I wished we could have possibly saved him and he'd join us kind of like Poppy and Kissy Missy, but it also wasn't so great to have the rest of the Smiling Critters not be able to be seen in the game. I think it would have been way cooler to have more then one of them and not just Dogday, Catnap or the little ones which don't get me wrong, were insanely creepy, but still weren't the same as seeing Dogday at full size. Though another thing people have been pointing out is you could say what sort of happened to him was hinted at in the cartoon that was shown. Since at the end when all the critters were knocked out (aside from Catnap) Dogday's position on the couch mirrored his arms stretched out, and his legs were covered imitating him missing them in the actual game. Just was an interesting detail that people noticed at one point

There's something very satisfying in Dogday's voice.

Ms Delight implies we're human, Dogday calls us an angel, Poppy says we're perfect. I want to know what is wrong with us. We can't be a normal human surely.

I'm honestly curious about how exactly Dogday knows about us. We can assume he has been locked up for a good while, and Poppy was only freed recently herself from her cage, and yet Dogday connects us to Poppy and calls us her "angel". That suggests that before they both were captured, Poppy discussed us with Dogday. Maybe that is how they got captured by the Prototype and Catnap in the first place? Maybe THEY had worked together (along with presumably Ollie and Kissy Missy) to get the message from the opening to us in the first place? But why? What is so special about our character that Poppy and Dogday risked their lives just to get a message to us as if knowing that we'd follow it?

Another interesting thing is, with the cutouts, the ones with screams at the end are most likely dead. Like Kickin Chicken. But the thing is, Bobby Bearhug, Picky Piggy, and Crafty Corn do not have screams. With Crafty Corn, she must have stayed alive for a bit longer, as she was most likely the one to write in the vents when we are being chased by huggy, but, was eaten by Picky Piggy, who most likely ate Kickin Chicken, Bubba, and as stated before, Crafty Corn. As she says in her cutout: “Seared Elephant, Grilled Chicken, and Flayed Unicorn.” She must have ate those 3. As for Bobby Bearhug, she is still alive, as there is not a scream at the end. She also remembers us, and asks us to take her with us the next time, also saying that shes “lost.” This indicates that she knows who we are, and she might have given us the idea to leave the factory before the “Hour of Joy.” Also, she is most likely hiding out somewhere, if she is still alive (hopefully.) Picky Piggy is most likely alive too, as there is no scream, and she said she was still hungry, and asked us to be friends. The next chapter is rumored to be in a fairground type setting, as for one of the posters showed. (Not confirmed.) This is just a THEORY. Thanks for reading.

I feel bad for alot of the people and toys in this game but Dogday didn't need to go out like that. Poor guy.

The foreshadowing in the cartoon of dogdays last position on the couch with a blanket covering his lower half was crazy. Telling us he would be missing that second half later on

Dogday I feel so bad for him he didn't deserve this I feel so bad for him and he Is one of my favorite characters in this chapter

I like to think of DogDay as a kind of rival to CatNap, at least when all the critters were still alive. DogDAY, CatNAP, day/night, DogDay was the leader of the critters but CatNap takes them away from DogDay, etc etc

I got the feeling that like Theodore Granbell the smiling critters were all children initially, and so DogDay's deeper voice I assumed was because the child in him had grown up since the time of his creation and the events of chapter 3, but that's just how I see it

in the ending of the cartoon, Dogday is the only one on the couch with catnapt and his arms are spread out while his lower half is covered with a blanket. Just like how he is the last smilling critter and is chained up and missing his lower half.

I like that DogDay's pose at the end of the smiling critters animation sort of mimics his pose before the little critters crawled inside of him. The way his head is lowered with his arms spread out. In the animation, due to laying his arms against the couch back and arm rest, and in reality because he's shackled.

You should make a theory on how Picky Piggy ate most of the Smiling Critters. I think the others she didn’t eat, Catnap tortured (maybe they didn’t agree with worshipping The Prototype)

5:48 i got this far in and I have to say, that doesn’t sound realistic at all. The little critters that went into dog day simply banded together and take control of dog days corpse, because he died immediately after all the critters got into him, so it was the critters chasing us in dog days body, the prototype can’t use the red gas for influence, he just is very manipulative. Catnap fears the prototype so he worships him saying he’ll free them.

Catnap also had an adult voice too even though he's a kid so the voice evidence is kinda not completely full proof there

Dogday is dead the plushy smiling critters crawled into his body and controlled his lifeless corpse by moving their bodies

In the cartoon DogDay is asleep the way he is hung up. He is also to the right of CatNap maybe meaning he was his right hand man and he is the last one left alive. This could mean that maybe DogDay eventually saw through CatNap and tried to help but in the end he was just tortured and kept alive the longest to bring the most pain to him because of his betrayal

I think dog ray is the guy that was on the tape that said the kids needed to see sunlight cuz he was against the play care and didn’t like it and they sound alike

I think the smiling critter cutout voice lines are them trying to leave and all of them getting caught by catnap.

It was so sad to see Dogday go out like that BUT, I just realized that the belt on his waist is probably keeping his organs inside which is how he was still alive with only the upper half of his body..
