On the same night that a UFO is seen zooming away from the farm, Holton and his friend Willy find a strange black dog lying near the road--a victim of a hit-and-run driver. The dog has soft, luxurious fur and strange eyes, and Willy insists that it came from the vanished space ship. "Dont be ridiculous," Holton scoffs. But weeks later--when Holtons pet collie gives birth to a remarkable black pup--it looks as though Willy is Right! the pup is like no other dog on Earth
