Three aliens are in their spaceship in space (there are stars showing in the windows). The aliens are observing a dog who is sitting in the middle of the floor looking at one of the aliens. The do is wearing a collar and wagging its tail.
It's unusual for a dog to be on a spaceship in space. It has a collar and so it must belong to a person so it's also unusual for it to be wagging its tail when it most likely doesn't belong to the aliens.
Why did the aliens, apparently, abduct a dog? Why is the dog wagging its tail?
We found it tethered to an inferior life-form.

The inferior life-form the aliens are referring to are humans: usually, dogs are seen as leashed by humans, but from their outside perspective, the dogs and humans are equally tethered, but the dogs are superior. It's a light-hearted reference to the idea that even aliens would like dogs a lot.
