Can a dog from outer space save the world?

When Prez meets Sputnik – a small, loud alien – he's shocked to hear that the world is about to be destroyed. Unless Prez can show Sputnik ten things worth seeing or doing on Earth . . .

But Prez's list of amazing things is not quite the same as Sputnik's – will it be enough to save the planet?
