In the novel Towards Zero, Bouncer, affectionately known as "Old Bouncer" was a dog, probably belonging to the household of the Roydes. As a child Audrey Standish made the mistake of putting her face down to "Old Bouncer". Old Bouncer had a sore paw and bit her on the left ear. The resulting wound required stitches and left a scar on her ear.
