Steve:C he's from outer space.
Steve:And D a police officer's head was sewn onto a dog's body?

Steve:So I feel like that wouldn't be how it would.
Steve:Superhero from outer space, maybe.
Steve:Dog man, a dog and a man got squished together by a car, maybe.
Steve:It's crazy when a police of his head was sewn onto a dog's body.

Milo:What?
Steve:That happens in the books.

Steve:You just hear about it.
Bonnie:It happened because I think there was an explosion and
Bonnie:The police officer's head was broken and the dog's body was broken.
Steve:Ah right.
Steve:So they saved them by by sewing the head on together.
Bonnie:These cartoon nurses.

Steve:So let's go to question three then.
Bonnie:Okay.
Bonnie:Question number three.
Bonnie:Which book title?
Bonnie:is a play on Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities
