a bit more on roog

I chose the id roog after the first (maybe) published story by Philip K. Dick.

The story is charming and a bit loopy:

Aliens are scouring human neighborhoods and removing the humans, replacing them with alien lookalikes. The aliens, called ROOG, travel in trash trucks; the human remains are neatly carted off when a body-snatch takes place.

Now, and you dog lovers will enjoy this, dogs are aware of this alien plot, and, loyal to the end, they try to warn their masters by shouting, "ROOG! ROOG!"

The pet owners, naturally, interpret this as normal barking and ignore the repeated warnings, and in the end, we see one dog's family about to be carted off as the garbage-collector-disguised aliens come down the street.
