Dog Man ^{NL, 6+}

When a dog and a police officer are injured in the line of duty, only a daring operation can save their lives. And so Dog Man is born, half dog, half police officer. When he’s not distracted by squirrels, Dog Man is busy protecting the city from his arch-enemy: supervillain Karel the Cat. But with the arrival of the adorable kitten Little Karel, a clone of Karel, everything changes for the two rivals. With jokes, pranks and a lot of heart, Dog Man shows how the power of love (and kittens) can bring together even the furriest of enemies.
