Moondog

One small step for man. One giant leap for... a stray dog on the Moon?

On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 made history by landing on the lunar surface. But when astronauts Neil and Buzz looked outside their spacecraft, they didn't just find dusty rocks and craters-they found a scruffy, talking stray named Moondog

Stowing away in Buzz's lunchbox, Moondog joins the crew on an unforgettable zero-gravity journey back to Earth. Along the way, the astronauts learn the amazing secret of Moondog's heritage-his grandmother was Laika, the famous first dog in space! From dodging misplaced thruster buttons during weightless games of tag, to sharing packets of space stew and doing party tricks with forks and spoons, Moondog transforms a serious space mission into a chaotic, heartwarming adventure.

Will the astronauts get Moondog safely through re-entry? Can the splashdown capsule handle a talking stray? And what will the President of the United States say when a dog from the Moon brings gifts from the Moon?
