Rod (ロッド Roddo? lit. Rod) is a character in Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning. He is one of the eligible bachelors to court.

Rod is an energetic young man who is always smiling and optimistic. He runs the pet shop in town, and takes pride in knowing everything that there is to know about pets. He is a childhood friend of Allen, but also likes to spend time with Neil, as they both share a passion for animals.

The blueprints for his house, the Cottage, are unlocked after completing Town Renovation #2.

His pet shop is located in the plaza of town, and you are able to buy cats, dogs, and horses from his store. He's open from Monday until Thursday.

Rod: [Player]! You came to meet me! That's great! Do you, um...have some time? I've got something to talk to you about. No, it's not really that big of a thing, but it's kind of hard to discuss here. Follow me.

Rod and [Player]: *go to Goddess Spring*

Rod: I...er... T-The breeze is pretty nice, huh? I always liked the mountaintop. No... that's not what I want to talk about. What am I doing? I'm such a dummy. [Player], please listen. I really like you! I want to be with you. If you feel the same way... will you be my girlfriend?

You're pathetic
(-2,000 FP with Rod)

Full transcription below:

Rod is looking at a bookshelf going *...* with annoyed scribbles. [Player] walks up to him causing him to go "!"

Rod: Hey, [Player]! *Hearts* Thanks for coming. It's great to see you!

[Player]: *Nods* "?"

Rod: You want to know what I'm doing? Studying, that's what.

[Player]: "?"

Rod: I run a pet shop, so I need to know all I can about cats, dogs, horses and other animals. [Player], do you remember how you let me take care of your chickens on your farm, before we started dating?

[Player]: *nods*

Rod: That was when I realized that I knew almost nothing about keeping birds as pets.

[Player]: "..."

Rod: *Annoyed scribbles* So I've started to read all sorts of books about animals, including birds. Just books aren't enough, though. The more I read the more I've been made to realize that I just don't know enough.

[Player]: "..."

Rod: It's pathetic that I run a pet store but there's all this stuff I don't know about pets.

[Player]: "..."

[Player]: Rod is trying hard but he's down about something. What should I say to him?

- I'll study with you.
- I'll teach you.
- Try looking after some animals?
- You're pathetic.

- I'll study with you.

Rod: "!" [Player]!

[Player]: *nods*

Rod: You'll help me with my studies? Thank you, [Player].

[Player]: *music notes*

Rod: Along with you...I mean, with you at my side, I think I can do even better.

Rod and [Player]: *hearts*

Rod: Let's do this thing, then! Come sit beside me and let's read this book together, [Player].

[Player]: *nods and walks up to Rod*

Rod and [Player]: *hearts*

- I'll teach you.

Rod: "!" What? Are you sure?

[Player]: *nods*

Rod: Thank you, [Player].

[Player]: *music notes*

Rod: So can we get started? Can we start with the chickens?

[Player]: "!"

Rod: So there's this...and then...

[Player]: "?" *sweat drops*

Rod: So what happens if...this is like this?

[Player]: "..."

Rod: "?" What's wrong, [Player]?

[Player]: "..." *shakes head*

Rod: You don't know, [Player]? What can we do, then? "!" Ah! Neil might know! I'll go and ask him about it right away. Do you want to come along, [Player]?

[Player]: "..." *shakes head*

Rod: Okay, I'll go. Come and see me later, [Player].

Rod: *leaves*

[Player]: It look like Rod has cheered up a little. There's things to be learned from him.

- Try looking after some animals?

Rod: "!" You're right. A picture is worth a thousand words. Just like with the chickens, actually trying it is the best way to do it.

[Player]: *nods*

Rod: I know a guy who works in a zoo. I'll ask him if maybe I can try looking after some different animals. Thanks, [Player]. I'm going to do whatever I can, and be positive about it.

[Player]: *music notes*

Rod: I didn't really want you to see me like this, to be honest. But with you telling me to hang in there, to keep on trying...It's great. I'm really, really happy.

[Player]: *hearts*

Rod: How about we start by looking after the animals on your farm again?

[Player]: *nods*

Rod: Thank you, [Player]. Let's go and get started!

- You're pathetic.

Rod: "!" Uwah. Having my girlfriend say that really magnifies the hurt! Not sure if I can take any more!

[Player]: "..."

Rod: I guess that's the price I pay. I'm going to mend my ways, you'll see! I'll learn all I can! Thank you, [Player]. I'm going to do my best from now on.

[Player]: *nods with music notes*

Rod: "..."

Rod: *annoyed scribbles*

[Player]: "?"

Rod: Your words have had a powerful effect on me. A damaging effect! I think I'm about to start crying...

[Player]: "!" *sweat drops* He's recovered, but maybe I went a little too far. Sorry, Rod!
