The Feats of LOOUNCH, All-American Bull Terrier!
It is the nature of alien abductions that one feels confused for an indeterminate time after being returned to Earth. It should not be surprising, then, that it is not clear if LOOUNCH is immortal, or a time traveler. Perhaps there is little difference.
