In this interstellar caper, Raf, Megan, and dog pal Bradley are abducted by aliens from the planet Farf Ill. These are not your ordinary aliens-they're intelligent canines who can speak, just like Bradley! But when their princess goes missing, they need help from planet Earth's home team-Rafs gizmos, Megan's eye for clues, and Bradley's gumshoe instincts-to track her down. Once the mystery is solved, will the Farfians' high-tech doggy lifestyle be too tempting for Bradley to pass up, or will his loyalty to his humans prove more powerful than the chance to live where it's the humans who are the pets?
