I shouted, "Wolves and children first! In that order!" and dived into a big life preserver lying on the deck near Perrin. Wolfette jumped in too and looked up to see what all the fuss was about. Then a blinding light flashed around us and then the world went dark.
Wolfette was yelling somewhere, "Help! Handsome Wolf, where are we?."
I yelled back, "I'm here! I can't see you."
I began to explore the walls and came upon a panel. It opened easily and there was a lot of neat wires inside. I needed something to gnaw on to distract my clever wolf brain, so I began to gnaw the wires. They had such a satisfying sensation, like munching on dried red peppers.
It only seemed like a few minutes before I felt a familiar change come over me. I was changing into my horse shape. If this was the Alien Wolf UFO, we must be near Titan. Soon I would be hungry for hey. YUCK! Or is it YUM? Yes now I was fully horse.
Soon the door opened and by the light from outside I could see four Alien Wolves, blue fur, antennas and all. One of them was talking about the glitch in their navigation system. Still having some of my wolf instincts left, I pounced! The aliens were all over me, but they expected a small wolf, not a big horse.
STOMP! KICK! JUMP! Holy horseshoes, wolf-horse! (with abject apologies to Batman) A battle royal ensued. Alien Wolves were bouncing off the walls, floor, and ceiling! Finally, with two of them unconcionciousesses, I stood on one and had the other in my teeth by the antenna.
I found the keys on one of them and let my Lovely Wolfette and (UGH) Perrin out. We met in the control room with the aliens locked in my old room.
"Now what do we do with them", asked Wolfette.
"Let's tie them up and dump 'em out the airlock", said Perrin.
The controls were simple. Up arrow for forward, right and left turned the ship, Page-up to go up, and Page-down to go down. I'd seen that somewhere before.

Now on with our story.
We pulled tore strips from extra alien clothes we found and tied up the uncousin - uconsu - sleeping aliens and as Wolfette landed the ship, Perrin shoved the aliens out the airlock. Luckely for them, we were almost down when he did, though I noticed that the first two bounced a little. All of them seemed to have quite a few hoof prints and bite marks on them.
I aimed at earth (It is the 2nd planet from the sun, isn't it). Unfortunately, I wasn't sure which sun.
To make a long story short - well, too late. Anyway, we landed on the second planet from Sirius, the Dog Star. I knew right away, 'cause the address bar said, "Sirius - The Dog Star B". I meant to set the auto-pilot to "land", but missed and set it to "crash".
We were stranded with a damaged ship. So we all had an event. We were a bedragon - budrog - lousy looking bunch. When we were taken up, they had left our tails behind. I was asleep for a few minutes and they stole my clothes (They didn't like my fleas!) so I had only a loincloth I made out of wire and the leftovers of alien clothes. But we can always have a fun time. Perrin kept sending out signals - with Sirius being 8 light years away from Earth, It'd only take 16 years for help to show up. Happily, I found a hammer and drill. After awhile I gave up trying to repair the ship and kicked it. Then it started working.
I have already programmed our course into the nav computer. Earth is the 6th planet from the sun, right?
