Description:


    A sad dog sits by itself, until the Hand sees it and decides to cheer him up. At first with petting and tickling, but that does nothing. The Hand has a great idea: Let’s do the funny dance! Still the dog doesn ́t seem to cheer up. The Hand starts to get irritated. Why doesn ́t the bloody dog smile? The cuddling starts to get stronger, a bit violent actually, but at least the dog finally reacts: now he is not sad anymore, he is angry instead. Angry?! After all the trouble the Hand when through to make the dog happy, the dog is angry?? No, that cannot possibly be true. This dog WILL be happy, even if it doesn ́t want to be. To be sure of that, the Hand puts a waggling tail on his behind and pins – just so there is no misunderstanding – a bright and shinning smiling expression on his face. Brilliant. Now the dog is happy, can ́t you see that? Now the dog can go and play with the other happy dogs.
