Aliens surround the earth but are willing to spare it if humanity can send what is the cutest animal on earth to persuade them not to destroy us.
By unanimous vote, the choice falls to you. What animal do you choose to send and why? it can be the baby form of the animal or the fully grown adult version.
I'd go the classic tried and true, regular ol' puppy. They won humans over, maybe they can win over the aliens as well. Better make it a Basset Hound puppy just to seal the deal.
