Chappie saved their lives as Gwen saved his only a few weeks ago, when she nursed him back to health after she had rescued him from another bombed house in the district, and taken him to her mother's house in North London.

So when Chappie was bombed for the second time he knew just what to do. He squealed and meowed until rescuers heard him, and rescued him with his little mistress and her mother, vho were taken to hospital for treat- ment.
