Plot
An alien couple comes to Earth disguised as a cowboy and cowgirl and buy a pet shop from its owner in an attempt to kidnap children and sell them to fellow aliens as slaves. They look like normal people aside from the fact that they have a third eye on their foreheads which they cover with their hats. One by one, they give some pets to random kids free of charge. The pets at first seem normal, until they change into their alien forms. The kids meet when they return to the pet shop because their pets stop eating and need some type of "vitamins" that the aliens feed them.
