Chapter one: the argument

Scamp and Angel were playing in the front yard, "Hey, Angel do you think Busters out of that pile of garbage yet?" Scamp asked her.

"Probably," Angel answered. "He's a strong dog,". What they didn't know was that Buster had been watching them ever since Angel had moved in! He had watched every move she'd made. He'd seen absolutely everything. He was peeking through the little hole that Scamp made when he ran away. He watched the two together and became jealous. He still had a crush on Angel and wanted to get her back. So he'd finally decided to waltz in and make a move. The huge dog jumped over the fence and landed in front of Scamp.

"I think this answers all of your questions, Tenderfoot," Angel told him.

"Howdy Scamparoo!" Buster greeted. Scamp winced with terror and hid behind Angel.

"Hi Buster," Scamp squeaked. Angel rolled her eyes.

"So Buster, what's new?" She took a whiff of her old boss. "I see you haven't got rid of the smell of all the junk yet," she said as she screwed up her nose.

"You've gotten used to baths haven't you?" Buster scoffed. He looked at how clean the pup was. 

"Maybe," Angel sighed.

"Uh guys, while you two talk I'll go and grab a bone," Scamp told the two other dogs. Scamp bounded off indoors. 

"So, Angel, have you gotten used to life on the end of a chain?" Buster asked.

"Yeah, and I quite like it, thanks, so before you get all in the 'Come back and join the Junkyard Dogs again' mood, I'm gonna go and check on Scamp," she said. Buster suddenly had an idea that would break the two up for good! So he started to work his way towards the goal.

"Wait a minute, Angel!" Buster called after her. Angel turned around. "Let's play a little game before you go and check on the little mutt," he said.

"Ok, what?" Angel asked.

"I was thinking a little bit of Buster says," the doberman said. He saw Scamp coming towards them with a bone. "Buster says: stick your right leg out... NOW!" he hissed. Angel did as she was told and Scamp tripped over her and fell head over tail. Angel couldn't help but laugh! Scamp got up and frowned at her behaviour.

"What's the big idea?" Scamp growled.

"I'm sorry Scamp!" Angel howled with laughter. "Buster did it!" Buster just stood there staring at Angel and kept his face straight. The trick was, he held on to the sides of his mouth with his jaws.

"I don't believe you!" Scamp pouted. Angel stopped laughing and knew what was coming next. Scamp would stand up and say... "I never want to speak to you again!" Then he padded off towards the doggy door and dissappeard through it.

"I hate you!" Angel shouted at Buster and she went into the kennel.

"Well that didn't go as I planned, but I still get a bone!" he said as he picked Scamps bone up in his mouth. "Angel will show up at the enterance to The Junkyard tomorrow!" He estimated. He jumped over the fence again and went down the street. 

Annette, Collette and Danielle had watched the whole thing from inside a bush and knew the truth.

"Did you see that jerk?" Annette asked her sisters.

"He's so rude!" Collette admitted.

"I kinda like him," Danielle said dreamily. Collette puffed her cheeks out as if she was going to be sick. Annette giggled.

"We have to tell Scamp the truth!" Collette told her sisters.

"You're right. Let's go!" Annette ordered. So the three cocker spaniels bounded indoors to inform their brother.

Chapter two: Losing the collar

Angel came out of the kennel a few seconds after Annette, Collette and Danielle went inside. She had been thinking. Had becoming a housedig been nessasary. She had made a choise. She would be a street dog again. But she vowed that she wouldn't go near the junkyard. So she tried to slip her collar off, but it was on too tight, so she would go under the fence to ask one of the other street dogs to pull it off for her. She squeezed throught the same hole that Buster came through and set off.

She saw a friendly looking bulldog and asked him for help, but he said: "No way, i can't help you there, lass,". Then Angel tried to convince a sweet labrador. But she said: Sorry, I don't help house dogs,". Angel had to face the facts, there was no way she could get the collar off. So she hid out in an alley behind Tony's Italian resturant.All of a sudden, it started to rain! Angel hid in a cardboard box! But it was old and full of holes, so it leaked and dripped all over Angel! "This is going to be a long day!" Angel sulked. She hopped out of the box and scratched at the door of the resturaunt. Tony poked his head out and smiled. He tossed a chunk of lasangna to Angel and dissapeared. Angel tucked in to the tasty treat. it reminded her of the time she came here with Scamp. She frowned as she thought of Scamp. The pup was begining to miss her best friend. But she wouldn't go back. Just then, she heard a ferocious growl. Three black rotweilers were stalking her! She gasped and started sprinting up the alley. but the dogs were too fast for her and she was now being attacked by them. One of the rotweiler snapped at her neck and Angels collar was bitten off! Angel hadn't noticed this. she broke free of the dogs grips and ran until she bumped into something. It was the dog catcher! she was safe from the rotweilers with him around. The dog catcher picked her up and tossed her into the van! Angel sighed in releif she was going home. but the dog catcher didn't check her collar! Angel gasped and looked down. Her collar was gone! Angel started howling and barking. "Ha, you want a home and a kennel, do you?" he chuckled.

"I already have a home, now let me go!" Angel begged. Of cource, all that the dog catcher heard was Bark-Bark-Bark!

"The only kennel you're going to have is the golden kennel in the clouds, he said. He pointed towards a large gun. Angel nearly fainted when she saw it. She started calling for help. But there was nothing she could do about it now.

Chapter three: Scamp to the rescue

Annette, Collette and Danielle barged through the door and skidded to a halt next to their brother. All three sisters started talking at once, which made it hard to understand. "Whoa! One at a time!" Scamp ordered. The cocker spaniel pups calmed down.

"Pick me!" Danielle told Scamp.

"Uh, Danielle," Scamp chose.

"There they were talking and playing games. The suddenly you popped out of the door, and then, the talking stopped. I looked at that handsome..." Annette nudged her sister. "I mean, terrible doberman, and there I heard it! He told Angel to knock you to the floor!" she explained.

"Okay, now Collette, tell me your point of view," scamp told her.

"Well, my point of view is very similar to Dani's," she admitted.

Okay then, Annie, what about you?"

"Well whatever happened, it made my fur tangle up. Well I think, it was the bush that did the fur tangling, but what that meanie said probably made the bush do it,"

"What, bushes can't understand dogs," Collette told her sister.

"Plants live and breath, like us, you see.."

"Uh, sis, we really don't want to hear the educational part of this. So what you three are trying to say is?"

"ANGEL DIDN'T DO IT!" the three sisters concluded.

"What have I done?" Scamp gasped. "Where did she go?" he asked his sisters.

"In the dog house," answered Collette. Scamp bounded into the dog house and looked inside.

"Is she there?" Danielle asked.

"No. But her scent is," the mutt replied.

"We should get uncle Trusty!" the spaniels chorused.

"Good idea!" Scamp agreed. The four sibling went next door to get their friend Trusty. As usual, he was asleep on the front porch. Scamp tried to shake him awake.
 "Psst, Trusty!" he whispered into the bloodhound. He only stirred.

"Let us try," Annette suggested. The three sisters started howling. He started mumbling. Then the cocker spaniels stared at eachother for a while and then nodded. "UNCLE TRUSTY!" they yelled. Trusty sprung up and started mumbling again.

"Oh, grandpappy, please let me lead the way, my sniffer is young and yours is old and useless. No offence, by the way I'm sorry for stealing all the dog biscuits!" then he collapsed to the floor again. Scamp and his sisters started giggling.

"I can't believe that didn't work!" Scamp frowned. Then an idea popped into his mind. He climbed up onto a nearby coffee table and look into a cup. There was still some coffee inside it. Scamp tipped the cup over and coffee dripped into Trustys mouth. He woke up.

"What's all the hubbub about?" he asked.

"Can we ask you something?" Collette asked back.

"Of cource, ma'am," he replied. Collette giggled.

"He called me ma'am,".

"Could we borrow your nose?" Danielle asked.

"I'm sorry but you can't borrow my nose. It's attatched to me," Trusty laughed. Annette rolled her eyes. "I'm just kidding with you. What do I need to sniff out?"

"Angel," Scamp replied.

"Oh, are you playing a game of
