Kalle is a small, fluffy dog who always looks forward to meeting his friends in the park. However, their enthusiastic greetings make him uncomfortable—they overwhelm him with a cuddle attack. How can Kalle prevent this and establish his own boundaries? His solution: he disguises himself as a cactus! But is hardness and distancing really the right approach? When the other dogs learn the reason behind his costume, they quickly agree on a new way to greet each other that makes everyone happy. I am excited to release this new story out into the world in 2025!
