D'OH! Good point! I totally forgot the space dog, Sirius, he was the first
one to suspect the spy, and in fact alert the young rookie space cadet,
Timmy.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
"What's that, Siri?"
"Woof, woof, woof!"
"Someone tied on the rail tracks?"
"Woof, woof, woof!"
"Someone died in the during a halfback?"
"Woof, woof, woof!"
"A spy in the tail with a bomb attached? Good boy! Good boy! Goo-oh, wait
a
sec. Captain! CAPTAIN!"
