Bouncer 2

When a stray Labrador Retriever started appearing around Lassiter's, and initially approached Kyle Canning, she was later caught by Kyle's gran,Sheila. It didn't take long for a visiting Lucy Robinson, who had once owned a Labrador named Bouncer, to fall in love with the stray dog and she became determined to find her a home. Lucy's friend Chris Pappasthen discovered that the dog’s owner had recently died and the council were trying to find relatives to ‘adopt’ her, before making the surprise discovery from the vet that the dog was a direct descendent of Bouncer - she was then named Bouncer 2, later nicknamed B2 by Lucy's brother, Paul.

When Lucy returned home to New York, she left Bouncer 2 with her Paul at his penthouse, and despite Paul's initial reservations, he grew attached to B2 as she provided him companionship at a difficult time in his life. B2's presence in Paul's life was quickly threatened when Ezra Hanleywarned him that having pets was against the terms of the ownership of the penthouse, and the dog would have to go. When interfering cousin Hilary then visited Paul, she quickly grew attached to the dog herself and blackmailed Paul - warning that she would track down his long-lost daughter Amy otherwise - into allowing her to take B2 to live with her at her retirement village. Paul quickly realised that B2 would be better off there, rather than cooped up in his penthouse with him, and said his farewells to B2 as she left with Hilary.
