"I bet those guys're aliens," Niblet nonchalantly whispers to his friend. "They must be here t'learn th' ways a'us Earthlings."

"Niblet, have you lost yer marbles?" Squirt whispers back abrasively. "There ain't no such thing!"

"But honestly, they must be! Niblet replies. "I'm gonna go communicate with 'em now." He then strolls up to the odd duo. "Hel-lo, friends. Me Earth dog. Friendly! My name Niblet."

"Pardon us, my friends," the dog replies, wisely ignoring Niblet. "My name is Zoltron and this is my friend Quasar(1)."

"We come in peace." the cat, Quasar, replies.

"See, Squirt? They must be-OOMPH!" the big sheepdog is cut off sharply by his friend quickly shoving his paw over his mouth. "Pardon my friend," Squirt replies. "What he means to say is, you must be lost. May we help you?"

"Yes, please," Quasar replies. "You see, Zoltron and I have been separated from our owners Coop and Millie while on an outing. Can you help us, please?"

"Absolutely, guys," Squirt replies obligingly. "We Pound Puppies always look out for animals in need."

"But Squirt," Niblet notes. "How are we gonna find a spaceship at this hour?"

"Niblet, there's no such thing as aliens!" the Chihuahua snaps. "Honestly, if I've told you one, I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate!"

At this moment the other Pound Puppies and Kennel Kittens approach them. "Hi, guys," Lucky greets them. "Who are your friends?"

"These are Zoltron and Quasar." Squirt replies. "They've been separated from their family and need our help."

"They're real aliens, and they need us t'find their spaceship again." Niblet adds.

"NIBLET!" Squirt exclaims angrily.

"What?' the big sheepdog doesn't see what he's done wrong.

"Well, we'll certainly be most happy to assist you." Strudel obliges.

"Quite indeed," Lucky adds. "Pound Puppies and Kennel Kittens, let's start pounding!"

Little did they know, however, that things weren't to be smooth sailing for long, because from the sidewalk outside, Catchum the nasty dogcatcher had been listening to their every word. "Aliens, eh?" he says in an intrigued voice. "I'd better tell the boss right away!" Upon this, he then hurries off.

As Catchum arrives at the prisonlike pound of Shelter 13, he enters the office of the wicked pound supervisor Milton Feltwaddle. "You'll never believe this, boss," Catchum notes. "But there's a strange dog at Dot's Puppy Pound!"

Feltwaddle shoots a sour look at him. "All dogs are strange," he sneers disdainfully. "They chase after tennis balls, howl at the moon, and chew on rawhide treats."

"Yeah, but this one was strange even by dog standards!" Catchum replies. "He had these funny-lookin' antennas on top a'his head and this weird soundin' voice. Oh, and he had this cat with him what didn't have no hair."

"Well, there's nothin' weird about that, Catchum," Feltwaddle's nephew Morton pipes up. "Lotsa' cats don't have any hair."

"Yeah, but this one had the weird antennas, too," Catchum elaborates. "Think they might be aliens or some such."

A scheming grin spreads across Feltwaddle's face. "Aliens? Ohh, how very, very interesting! Outer-space pets like those could fetch a pretty penny, especially on one of those TV talk shows!' Feltwaddle turns to the dogcatcher. "Catchum, I want you to bring me back those aliens."

A disconcerted look crosses the dogcatcher's face. "B-bring 'em back? But boss, what if they got some sorta cosmic powers, like lasers eyes or somethin'?"

"I want no excuses, Catchum," Feltwaddle snarls. "You'll bring me back those aliens, and that's that!"

"Yeah." Morton adds.

"He makes a pretty forceful argument." Catchum grumbles under his breath as he makes his way toward the door.
