"Greetings, Earth people. I am Spog from Outer Space. My best friend is Horatio Herbert, a small earth person from your planet. When I come to stay with him I always bring some special space gadgets to play with, like my Dogtronic Utility Collar. Strangely, though, Horatio's Dad isn't always that keen to see me........"
