Best in Show

Best in Show is a guided game in The Sims Pet Stories. It starts when Alice Whitt, who has inherited her grandparents' house, recently has moved back to Garden Heights to take ownership of the property, but money problems have put her on the verge of financial ruin. A starving artist, she hasn't been able to make ends meet every month, but she is determined to make a better life for herself and her dog, Sam. She may be forced to move if she doesn't come up with the simoleons to pay her taxes. Her friends Amaya and Thomas are there to help, but ultimately Alice must find a way to save her house!

After painting a picture, Alice gives some love to her dog, Sam. Alice than changes her clothes as well as her look. Later, Sam chews on the furniture so Alice scolds him. She decides to teach him a command "come here". Soon, Diana DeBore comes and says that Alice owes §120,000 and that she purchased the deed in case Alice can't pay. Alice says she'll find a way to pay off the debt and asks Diana to leave.

After taking Sam for a walk, she finds that there's a dog show competition and if they win, they'll be able to pay off the bills. After that, they go to Playground for Precious to register. Later, Alice chats with other contestants but they don't seem to be interested. The next morning, she invites over Amaya Flores who comes with Thomas Jones, Alice's old friend. Alice explains her problem to them and Amaya brings her an A-frame. Thomas also says he'd like to come tomorrow with his dog Lucy and Alice agrees. Later, Alice trains Sam on the A-frame.

Alice has to scold Sam again because he's digging holes and being filthy. Soon, Alice's sink breaks and she calls a repairman, but since all the plumbers are swamped, she asks Thomas, who's just arrived, to do it. After he fixes her sink, she cleans the kitchen and than plays with Thomas' dog, Lucy. Thomas also gives Alice a Teeter Totter, so she trains Sam.

Alice decides to go to the shopping center and pick up a magazine on dog training. She then goes to Vista Strip Mall and while buying a magizine she rans into Thomas and they decide to go to Simoleon Diner. After dinner, he gives her a toy for Sam and leaves. She goes home too and sees that Sam made mess while she was away so she has to clean it. Finally, she reads the magazine that takes player to the Training Grounds to see how a competition looks like.

Next morning, Alice decides to train Sam for the dog show. Soon, Thomas arrives and gives her a high jump. She then trains Sam on all obstacles she has.

Sam's rolling around in the flower beds so Alice has to give him a bath. After that, they go to The Show Park and compete in the dog show. They qualify for the SimCity finals. Later, Diana tells Alice that there's no way she'll win but Alice says they're going to be the best. Diane also says that she fired Thomas because he was helping Alice.
