Puppy Protocol: Five Tiny Ways to Meet a Dog Without Being Weird

Casper opens on that immediate full-heart moment—a dog bounds toward you and your brain auditions every possible slobbery greeting. In a warm, ten-minute monologue he sketches five dog-meet archetypes—the Treat Whisperer, The Elbow Offerer, The Eye-Contact Pledger, The Over-Complimenter, and The Silent Tail-Reader—performing quick Kate-style snarks and Arthur-style deadpan all in-host so listeners still feel the trio. He balances cozy foley (leash jingle, friendly pant) with clear safety scripting and teaches a short two-step 'Paws & Pause' ritual (ask the owner; offer a flat palm and gentle sniff-self introduction) demoed twice for tone. Casper reads one pre-moderated, anonymized, text-only micro-story to model safe sharing, lands a warm callback about canine empathy, and closes with a social-media CTA inviting one-line, text-only dog-meet confessions to @LaughVibes (explicit: no photos, no addresses, no service-animal details). The aim: make dog greetings kinder, funnier, and safer for everyone.
