"During a safari on Venus, a well-to-do couple happen to cross paths with a tiny bundle of fur with amazing powers of persuasion. A few weeks later, they return to Earth with their fuzzy ball of fur—which they have christened with the sobriquet "Black Eyes"—in tow. Will their new pet adapt to life among humans?"

Interesting.... easy read, ending not what I expected.

This was another easy to read short story, it seemed familiar but different. I'm thinking I heard a story something like from maybe X-Minus one, or another old radio program. Thou, the ending wasn't what I thought - it wasn't a twist per-say - I just wasn't expecting it.

It gets a three star rating mostly because the "science" part of "science fiction" is really missing. It's a good story thou, just have to suspend believe too much to rate anything higher for me.
