We meet Emma about to celebrate her fifth birthday. What she wants most of all is a dog. But Emmas’s mom, who is a vet, says that one must be a little older to take care of a dog. But Emma insists that five years is more than old enough. Casper dreads to start a new daycare. But when he arrives in the kinder garden, he meets Emma. She also has a stuffed animal that comes alive, and from that day Casper and Emma are best friends. They play together all the time, even though Sigrid often teases them. Casper is there when Emma meets the old and very cute dog, Bassa, for the first time.
