The time that a rough and ready space marine group rescued a group of abandoned, well.. they LOOKED like puppies anyway. They made great pets, though some galactics got more than a little nervous seeing a predator being called "Mr. Snuggles" -- Anon Guest
If the Humans don't have a saying for it, they can easily make one up. In this case, it's, "Convergent evolution is one hell of a drug."
It used to mean that people will name new discoveries after the things they most resembled. It's come to mean something else, after the encounter at Logorala.
Space Marine Troop 934, the Terror Tiktaliks, had gone in to Logorola to help fight off an invading piratical force. They "picked up a few things" via right of conquest. Specifically, a few of the captured pirates shipboard animals. Colloquially referred to by the Tiktaliks as "puppers". They were not dogs.
