Bouncer (Neighbours)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bouncer, a labrador, was the dog of The Robinson Family on Neighbours. He played a major role in several storylines, including being one of the indications of Lucy Robinson's brain tumour and saving Madge and Sky Bishop from a fire at the Mangel house by answering the phone and barking for help. Due to his major role in several storylines, Bouncer soon gained cult status.

[edit] Storyline

Bouncer was given to Lucy Robinson by Mike Young after he failed to save Lucy's pet terrier Basil from drowning. When Lucy left, Bouncer was given into Mike's care and Lucy let him stay at No. 28 with them when she returned. Bouncer then befriended Mrs. Mangel and a battle between Mike and Mrs. Mangel ensued over who Bouncer should live with and it was resolved by letting Bouncer choose for himself. He ran to Mrs. Mangel rather than Mike, and Mike agreed to let Bouncer live at No. 32 with her. After Mrs. Mangel married John Worthington and moved to England, she left Bouncer in the care of her son Joe. Joe's son Toby arrived and soon became Bouncer's owner.
