Chapter 3 - The Escape
When we last checked in with our chubby hero, Cubby had been captured by aliens from outer space. (As opposed to aliens from inner space?) He was encaged by a dog-like race of, well, dogs. These demon dogs brought our struggling Portie, against his will, to the planet (ice rock) Pluto. Where else were you expecting, Uranus? They took him to a science lab manned (dogged?) by a scientific lab (generally more of a retriever than an empirical thinker). He was to be studied and probed, to determine if there was intelligent dog life elsewhere in the universe. Could the Plutonian pooches integrate themselves amongst the Earth's doggy population. Their ultimate goal: to mark their territory and takeover the planet for all of dogkind. Could our hero escape their canine clutches? Could he save the Earth from their pawsitively diabolical plan? Could he phone home without opposable thumbs?
He used an UFO to facilitate his escape - an unidentified feasted object. During one ill-conceived experiment, the lab fed our hero some foreign matter that has yet to be identified (possibly underwear?). Later that evening, Cubby was left under the watchful guard of a couple of, well, guard dogs. Suddenly, with a loud retching noise, the Dog of Steel Stomach projectile vomited the earlier ingested matter in the direction of the furthest guard, knocking him out. Using his nuclear-powered paw, he gave a quick double karate chop to the thick neck of the remaining guard dog, sending him to doggy la-la land as well. He skedaddled out of the lab's lab.
Before he blasted off of the icy rock, he had one final business to attend to. Well, two pieces of business actually, as he had been cooped up for quite awhile and Cubby is nothing if not a house broken dog. Finished relieving himself, he used his canine power of smell to sniff out the energy source of the Plutonian empire - a kibble powered tractor/transport tower. Cubby, known to have a hankering for kibble, ate the tower. The Earth, its humans, and man's best friends were spared. Once again, Suuuu-per Cubby had saved the day.
And with a mighty swoosh, our hero took off into the spacey skies and headed home. As he zoomed towards Earth, Cubby miscalculated his re-entry speed for his now 60.5 pound frame. He landed with quite a thud in his own backyard. He was OK, but his hard landing must have caused the giant hole that was dug up in the flower bed....
