    About this ebook

    Four stray dogs, all with a story to tell of their rescue and how they came to live at Munchy Flats Cottage, with their people Flossie and Joe.

    The Third Chums title in which Bouncer comes to live at Munchy Flats with Buster and Bella. Bouncer is a very lively little Jack Russell terrier. He’s a cheeky young whipper snapper and Buster doesn’t like it when he starts digging up his garden! Bouncer is just a nuisance to the other dogs and Buster decides he needs taking down a peg or two. However, he doesn’t need to because a farmer – with a gun – does it for him. Bouncer has the shock of his young life when the gun goes off but he is still too lively for his owner. Bouncer turns up again at Munchy Flats Cottage with a label round his neck ‘My name is Bouncer and I have been a naughty boy. But I am not a bad boy at heart. Please give me a second chance.’! So Bouncer joins Bella and Buster at Munchy Flats Cottage – where he is a good boy, at heart!

      Bouncer - Jean Ure

      We are the dogs of Munchy Flats. We live here, with our people.

      And Whiskers and Panda, but they, of course, are cats. Cats are not the same as dogs! Cats stalk and slink and sit on top of cupboards. They go Miaaaaaow! and do a lot of sleeping.

      Dogs bounce and bark. We jump! And play. And we go out for walks with our people. We tell the cats about it when we get back.

      We’ve been up to the park!

      But the cats just yawn and stretch and go on snoozing. They are not interested in hearing about our adventures. Cats are not like dogs! But we all get on together.

      Sometimes we even share a basket, or a corner of the sofa. And then our people look at us and go, Ah! How sweet!

      We like to make our people happy. We love them very much. If it wasn’t for them, none of us would be here.

      I was the first to come. After me there was Bella. And after Bella there was Bouncer. This is his story.

      ***

      We first met Bouncer when he was just a pup. It was a Sunday morning; I remember it well. Bella and I had been for a long walk across the Common. I was stretched out on the hearth rug. Bella was in the armchair by the window. She was fast asleep and snoring.

      Bella snores a LOT. She tries to pretend that she doesn’t She says that she is a pedigree,
