Mars, the plant in question

Puppy Oro is on hand to develop the Mars rover.
He wanted to make sure it would pave the way for his visit.
Thanks to the puppies input the rover is now on Mars and doing well.

One of Oro's first training exercises was to do a space walk
He needed to do it in a human space suit
because NASA is cheap and wouldn't make him his own suit.

An artist concept drawing of Oro on Mars
and studying a rock he would eventually pee on

When the Mars Rover landed successfully
Oro was on hand at mission control and NASA and part of the celebration

Some guy at NASA points to the place
where Oro's dog food is stored on the Mars Rover

In another secret testing mission, Oro drives a moon car on the moon
Again he is required to wear a human suit
which makes it difficult to operate a laser blaster.
(we hope there are no hostile aliens on Mars)

Again on the moon,
Oro takes a minute away from his top secret NASA missions
to bark some encouragement to the lazy puppies still on earth

to operate the robotic arm on the Mars Lander

The robotic arm on the Mars Rover which is designed
to rub Oro's belly, and pat him on the head when he is a good boy

The otherwise useless Mars Rover will serve a new use when Oro gets to Mars,
