The Star Dog is a HeroicDog who lives with eccentric WealthyPhilathropist Bakshtir (an extremely unsuccessful advisor to kings who, it's implied, has accumulated all his wealth thanks to [[BegoneBribe kings paying him to get rid of him and his advice]]). The Star Dog can teleport instantly across space and can learn a single word and repeat it later all the time; so one day, he appears in Moscow, finds Alice and says "Cold!"

''The Star Dog'' is a 2000 children's sci-fi novel by Creator/KirBulychev from his ''Literature/AliceGirlFromTheFuture'' series, one of the few books set explicitly in a SharedUniverse with Bulychev's ''Intergalactic Police'' cycle.
The Star Dog is a HeroicDog who lives with eccentric WealthyPhilathropist Bakshtir (an extremely unsuccessful advisor to kings who, it's implied, has accumulated all his wealth thanks to [[BegoneBribe kings paying him to get rid of him and his advice]]). The Star Dog can teleport instantly across space and can learn a single word and repeat it later all the time; so one day, he appears in Moscow, finds Alice and says "Cold!"
Alice starts to investigate what it might mean, and eventually finds out that a sinister and mysterious crime boss Besf is stealing heat and energy from different planets. To achieve his goals, he has organized a school for juvenile delinquents – so Alice goes a short while back in time to infiltrate the school as young criminal "Alla Zwei-Drei" and prevent the accomplishment of Besf's plans.
!! Tropes featured in the novel:
* AloofLeaderAffableSubordinate: Dobrets (whose name literally means "a kind guy") is the more personable minion of reclusive General Besf. [[spoiler:Subverted, since they turn out to be the same person]].
* MeaningfulName:
** "Mily" means "sweet, dear" in Russian, leading to Sweet Mila's original nickname (Milaya Mila) being a case of AddedAlliterativeAppeal. However, she isn't sweet in the least, being a vicious and vengeful matron of the School for Horrible Children.
** "Dobry" means "kind". Dobrets is the tutor of the School for Horrible Children [[spoiler:and also General Besf himself]].
* TheMole: Alice infiltrates Besf's School for Horrible Children in the guise of a juvenile delinquent.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Alice hides a good deal of her actual intelligence, completely fooling the School for Horrible Children's students and staff, [[spoiler:including Besf himself]].
* SelfMadeOrphan: "Alla Zwei-Drei" claims to have killed her parents and grandmother.
