History
The Space Poodles are descandents of Larricuss Edison, poodle of Thomas Edison, getting the idea of electricity from him and, after months of hard work, took fifty-seven poodles into space. These poodles did not bring much of the basic needs, and some poodles were forced into cannibalism. The poodles then crashed on Pluto, and were stranded there until another poodle found the blueprints for the ship that took the poodles into space. He built the ship and also crashed on Pluto, this time purposefully. Larricuss then built small jetpacks out of the ship's engine, and a few of the original poodles were sent floating back to Earth. (Left: Artist's rendering of a Space Poodle flying with a jetpack.)
How You Can Help Them
Buy lots of poodles, because poodles are the ancestry of Space Poodles. And buy them model rockets to get them started on their journey. When jetpacks are available for commercial use, buy them those too, and send them flying in the direction of Pluto. Or, if you'd like, send them to Mars to colonize the planet. But if they're going anywhere in outer space, tell them to pack ham. Lots of ham.
