Missing From Plain Sight

Grenpc5 and Slapkov7 had a huge intergalactic argument. Grenpc5 wanted to take the four-legged animal as a specimen. Slapkov7 argued that the two-legged were more unique, more intriguing. On their planet almost all creatures had between six and eight legs. By the time they figured it out, the potential specimens were gone. The girl and her dog were safely inside their house, eating supper. Neither aware how close they had been to being abducted. They would have been encased in air bubbles. Xendrendites by the thousands would have stared at them. They would have been fed tasteless wafers. The boy next door and his cat Gomor were not as lucky. They disappeared from the face of the planet that night.
