Bookroo's summary

Joe Pidge, a neighborhood king, and Pluto Rocket, an alien on a secret mission, venture beyond familiar streets. Their quest to prove Earthlings' kindness turns wild when a mistaken wolf chase (it's a poodle!) leads to unexpected heroism. As their fame reaches Pluto's home planet, the duo must escape to the moon. Can they outpace their newfound notoriety and complete Pluto's mission?

From the publisher

Pluto Rocket and Joe Pidge return with a blast in the third book of this hilarious new early graphic novel series, for fans of Narwhal and Jelly and Pizza and Taco! Joe Pidge, king of the neighborhood, and Pluto Rocket, an alien who’s new in town, have left the safety of Joe’s neighborhood to discover other places on Earth for Pluto’s secret mission – to explore the planet and prove that Earthlings are nice. But Joe is way out of his comfort zone! What starts as a casual walk into a new town turns into a high-speed chase as Joe is convinced the duo is being pursued by a wolf (it’s really a poodle). Later, Pluto’s habit of helping people leads to the two being celebrated as heroes! But when their publicity makes its way back to Pluto’s home planet, Joe and Pluto have to find a way to escape to the moon . . . and fast, in the third book of this hilarious graphic novel series from Paul Gilligan, creator of the syndicated comic strip Pooch Café!
