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?
