The Start of the Pound Puppies
Prologue
Lucky
"Good work dogs." I congratulated my friends after we placed a dog with a perfect family. We were all down in the underground base. "Another mission in the bag."
"I love placing dogs with their perfect people." Niblet spoke. "Seeing their happy faces, on both the dogs and the humans."
"I agree." Strudel agreed. "It is an wunderbar feeling placing pups in their new respective families."
"Man!" Patches said. "Hearing your wonderful stories on placing dogs in wonderful homes gives me a warm feeling every time! I can't wait for me, Cupcake, and Rebound to be full- fledged Pound Puppies."
"Just wait." Cookie told him. "You'll all get there before you know it."
"You really think so, Cookie Mommy?" Cupcake asked with her tail wagging.
"Of course. You and your friends are doing so great as Pound Puppies in training, that I think Dolly will make you all to full-fledged Pond Puppies."
"When?!" Rebound wanted to know, running around in circles around the base. "When, when, when, when, when?"
"Whoa, chill, eager beaver." Squirt told her. Niblet was confused.
"My sister's not a beaver." Niblet said. "She's a dog. I thought you knew that, Squirt." Squirt sighed deeply. Patches looked at me.
"Lucky, how did you become a Pound Puppy?" He asked. I got caught off-guard. I wasn't expecting that question.
"Yeah," Niblet put in. "How did you become one, Lucky? We curious pups and adult dogs want to know. And I'll add in my version of how I became one." Cupcake looked at Cookie.
"Will you?"
"You bet I will." Cookie said to her. "I can't let your curious question go unquestioned."
"And I will too." Strudel said.
"And I guess I have too now too." Squirt put in.
"You bet you do, Squirt!" Niblet told him. "You can't escape now!" The Chihuahua sighed. All eyes turned to me now.
"Go on, Lucky!" Cupcake said. "Tell your story!"
"Okay." I began. "It all started when I was a puppy."
