pound puppies

chapter 1 the new arrival

It had a quiet morning at shelter 17 as a new pup had recently been sent to the pound for being a stray as the dog catcher van had just pulled into the shelter and two men were outside in front of the office

Mr McLeish "Well what do you have for us today Ketchum *he said with a bored expression as he, Ketchum, and olaf went to the back of the van as Ketchum had opened the back door revealing a strange and unusual pup

Olaf" aww I think this one's kind of cute Sir

Mr McLeish "You think they're all cute Olaf that's your problem *he said rolling his eyes

Olaf" Well technically sir in their own way they kind of are

Mr McLeish " fine if you think it's so cute then you can take care of it just put him with the others

Olaf nodded as he took the pup to the kennels putting him in one as an orange and black blur came running out zipping around the kennel like a tornado as olaf closed the door and left as the pup soon met lucky as some of the members went up to meet you involving Lucky, Cookie, and squirt

???" Well well what do we have here?

??? " Hey Nice to meet you kid

??? What's your name little one

Soon the blur suddenly stopped revealing another dog who was a street dog like Squirtt as he had a patch of fur shaped like a lightning bolt as the dog was more of a tough outsider as I turned around looking at the other dogs who had greeted me " The name's Jay Lightning, sir! But most other dogs call me brick counting on the fact that I'm one of the toughest and most confident pups on the streets well that and l'm so tough i once went through breaking a hole in a brick wall without having a single scratch or broken bone on my body *he smirked proudly as he had a daredevil type of personality getting the admiration of cookie due to my spirit, confidence, and personality*

Cookie" oh I like this one already *she smirked as she looked at Lucky before looking back down at jay*

Lucky" Wel Jay I must say I like your spirit I'm

Jay" your lucky leader of the Pound Puppies Sir! The secret organization run by dogs to help pups like me find their perfect person as you believe there's a pup for every person and a person for every pup with the motto of once a pound puppy always a pound puppy Sir!

Lucky nodded approvingly at Jay's confident introduction. "That's right, Jay. We're all about giving every pup a chance at a loving home with their perfect person *He turned to the others* Looks like we've got ourselves a new recruit with some serious street smarts."

Cookie stepped forward, her eyes gleaming with admiration. "I'm Cookie, second in command. I gotta admit I like your style, Brick. You've got guts not many pups have that kind of confidence around here."

Jay" thank you mam I look forward to making you all proud mam!

Squirt snorted, crossing his arms. "Yeah, yeah, ain't he just the toughest pup ever? Let's see if he can keep up when it matters." *Despite his skepticism, there was a hint of curiosity in his tone*

Strudel emerged from the shadows of the kennel, her ears perked up. "Well, well... another canine with a penchant for daring feats. Perhaps you could assist me in testing some of my inventions sometime?"

Jay looked at squirt as he had a small smirk "oh trust me squirtI look forward to showing you what i can do *he said as they all went in one of the hidden tunnels leading to their underground base as he looked at strudel* "let me guess you must be strudel the tech genius behind this organization, inventor of the free kid database or the fkd which started as a simple phone book but is now a computer and operated by you and your squirrel assistants including sparky, and Mr nut nut and if memory serves me correctly you were also once a show dog weren't you before you came to Shelter 17 and basically adopted Mr nut nut due to the fact that no one had opposable thumbs making it hard for you to work on your inventions and cause he had thought he was a dog at first when he fell from a tree and into a litter of pups which you had to make him realize that he was a squirrel and not a dog thus you two have been friends ever since

Strudel's eyes widened in surprise, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks. "Well, well... it seems our new recruit is quite knowledgeable about our operations. Yes, I am indeed Strudel, the tech guru behind the Free Kid Database and many other ingenious gadgets that keep our mission running smoothly And you're absolutely correct about my past as a show dog. It's not something I advertise, but I suppose there's no harm in sharing it now." *Her expression softened as she looked at Nut Nut, who was by her side holding a screwdriver in his paws "Finding this little troublemaker was fate, I believe.

Jay" well it'd be an honor to help you guys anyway I can

Lucky" well jay I'm impressed by your knowledge but I just have to ask how exactly do you know so much about us when we just met?

Jay" are you kidding? You guys are legends every dog on the street that I've met has talked about you guys in fact that's kind of the reason why I got captured in the first place

Cookie" you mean you came here on purpose?

Jay" well technically yes but also no I did come here on purpose but not to really be adopted I wanted to come here cause I want to be part of the team sure I know it may be hard for me at first and it's going to take lots of discipline, practice, and training but I know what I can do and if that means helping you guys find pups their perfect people then so be it I'm ready for anything

Lucky exchanged glances with Cookie and Strudel, a mix of surprise and admiration in their eyes. "Well, I'll be... You've got more determination than most pups we've met. It's not every day a street dog comes to us asking to join the team."

Cookie nodded, her tough exterior cracking slightly. "I gotta admit, Brick... I mean Jay... you've got heart. It's not easy being part of the Pound Puppies, but if you're willing to put in the work, we'll train you up right."

Strudel stepped forward, her tail wagging thoughtfully. "Indeed, your knowledge and enthusiasm could prove invaluable to our operations. I suppose we could find a place for you on the team... provided you're willing to follow orders and respect our hierarchy."

Squirt" yeah even I gotta admit you remind of myself when I was a pup and coming from a street dog like me you definitely show you got what it takes to be one of us
