While it was a painful incident to go through for the ACNH player, fans on Reddit had some hilarious reactions to this story. Some of them mentioned that the dog was probably jealous due to their owner being busy with the animals of the Nintendo exclusive, rather than spending time with him in real life. And that’s why he ate the cartridge to show a feeling of anger.

“That animal crossed you”, one fan wrote while taking a jab at the situation.

On the other hand, some users came to the rescue of the player by informing about the fact their game file is still safe on the Switch itself. Despite a damaged cartridge, the main file won’t be lost whatsoever. Hence, the fans advised the affected user to contact Nintendo to send a them a digital copy of ACNH.
