Cotton is not of this world. Cotton's home world once floated on the edge of the universe for a billion millenniums. But his home world does not exist anymore and he is the last of his kind.
How did he get here?
A highly intelligent race, whose sole purpose is to travel the universe and salvage rare life forms, rescued Cotton and gave him temporary refuge on their space vessel. Knowing that their galactic-city traveling through space was not an appropriate habitat for the blue alien canine, the extra-terrestrials asked Cotton which inhabited planet in the universe would he like to reside. Cotton chose to live on Earth, thinking that humans’ sole purpose was to serve canines after viewing a video image of a man picking up dog-poop while walking a dog. Thus, Cotton became a permanent resident of the planet Earth and a gift from the “people” above.
