Cold Dark Matter simulations predict 10-100 x more dwarf satellite galaxies than are observed. Some of these ‘missing satellites’ may have been accreted, along with their globular clusters (GCs), by giant galaxies (Cote et al. 1998). But examples of dwarfs in the early stages of disruption have remained elusive.
