Shorty, Alien Dog

Shorty, an enterprising pooch who lives on Planet Zed, sets out on his rocket bike to help a friend. Stopping at the Space Station, he knocks on the door and is invited to visit Planet Earth. However, trouble finds him when federal agents capture him and his rocket bike. Although being guarded, he escapes and finds a friend who disguise him as their missing family dog, Astro.

The local dogcatcher is on the loose and has filled the Pound indiscriminately. When Shorty hears about this he goes into action. Besides searching for a solution to a problem at home, he has a new one. Can he save the city’s dogs? Can he fix the trouble at home? For a good-nature space dog, Shorty has his paws full.
