Doggy Crisis Arc

The Doggy Crisis Arc is the sixth story arc in SPY x FAMILY.

A terrorist group from Berlint University targets Minister Brantz in order to start a war between Westalis and Ostania.

Summary
After Anya requests a dog as a reward for her Stella Star, the Forgers take the weekend to visit the pet shop, but Loid gets called out on a mission soon after their arrival: to prevent an assassination plot against Westalis Minister Brantz. After being filled in on the details, Loid disguises himself as the group's leader Keith Kepler to trick Kris, one of their members, into spilling the details of their plot. During this time, Anya and Yor head to an adoption fair to continue looking for a dog. While there, Anya sees a large white dog through a window and, after telepathically linking with him, sees herself and the rest of the Forger family in his thoughts.

Anya decides to follow after the dog, which leads her right to the terrorist's hideout. Unfortunately, she ends up getting caught listening to their plans, and they decide they need to take her out. However, the dog ends up protecting Anya, and a phone call at their hideout distracts the terrorists and allows the two of them to escape.

WISE continues pursuing the terrorists, but all hideouts they find are abandoned. Yor goes looking for Anya and sees her escaping riding on the back of the dog. Unfortunately, Anya and the dog run into the terrorists again and get attacked by them. In the nick of time, Yor jumps in and takes out Kurt, who attempted to silence Anya. Keith runs in fear away from her.

Yor decides to report the incident to the police while Anya catches a glimpse of the dog's next future vision. In it, Loid dies from an explosion near a clock tower, and Minister Brantz is assassinated. The explosion then leads to a war between Westalis and Ostania, as Westalis holds the Ostanian government responsible for the assassination. Anya rushes off with the dog in order to stop the explosion from going off.

Meanwhile, WISE captures four of the terrorists and attempts to get information out of them. They end up getting four potential locations to check, and Loid heads off to one of them. Anya gets to the bomb first, though, and climbs through a window to get to it. Having no knowledge of how to disarm it though, she leaves a cryptic message behind for Loid to stop him from opening the door and activating the trap. After seeing the message and finding the bomb, Loid decides to go to where Minister Brantz is in order to disguise himself as him to lure out the terrorist. Loid gets into a car and starts driving, and just as planned, Keith follows after him.

After the other agents are caught in an accident by Keith, Loid decides to run off on foot, so Keith sends a bomb dog after him. Loid saves the dog from the bomb by throwing the bomb in the river and then throwing the dog into a dumpster. Not knowing Loid had done this, Keith tries to blow up Loid only to be shocked to learn where the bomb was. Keith realizes he needs to get out of there, so he starts driving away. Yor, however, sees him while looking for Anya and kicks his car off the road. Yor calls the police again and reports that the terrorist got into an accident.

After Keith gets caught, the Forger family reunites, and Loid learns that Anya and Yor had gotten caught up in the terrorist plot. Impersonating State Security Service agents, Handler shows up and reports that they need to take the dogs that the terrorists had used. An upset Anya declares that she wants to keep the dog and will stop going to school if otherwise. Not wanting to endanger the mission, Handler approves to have the dog under Loid's supervision. The dog arrives at 128 Park Avenue with a warm welcome from the Forgers. The next day, Anya struggles to come up with a name for the dog, but after noticing the similarities in how he looks and acts like Bondman from Spy Wars, she names their new family member "Bond."
