Bond Forger/Synopsis

History
Bond was known as Subject 8 from a research initiative called "Project Apple," conducted by the previous Ostanian regime for the purpose of producing highly-intelligent animals from a variety of species for military purposes. After the research got terminated by the new administration, the former test subjects, including Bond, ended up in the black market. Eventually, they fell into the hands of the terrorist group led by Keith Kepler and crudely trained as bomb dogs.

During Bond's time as a test subject, he was shown to be cruelly treated and deemed replaceable by the researchers as he was fed disgusting food, frequently given shots, and electrocuted at a high voltage.

Stella Star Arc
Two men enter a poorly maintained room full of dogs in small cages and pour disgusting food on the dogs' plates. As they comment on their poor state, Bond's ears perk up, and he rises as he gets a vision of the Forgers happily smiling at him.

Doggy Crisis Arc
Two men from the terrorist group are taking Bond and a German Shepherd out on a walk. One of the men leaves to get coffee from a shop, leaving the dogs alone with the other man. While waiting, Bond's ears perk up as he looks at a boy happily running in the streets, and he suddenly runs towards the boy, pulling him backward. Abruptly, a board falls off the building onto where the boy was previously standing. The shocked boy thanks Bond, who gets retrieved by the terrorists.

At the adoption fair, Anya looks outside to see Bond passing by, and she is surprised at his large size. As they notice each other and make eye contact, Bond recognizes her from his previous vision, and Anya is able to read his mind to see it as well. Anya's curiosity is piqued, and she quietly sneaks away from Yor to follow Bond and his caretakers toward their hideout. Entering the room where Bond is, she overhears the terrorists' plan to assassinate Minister Brantz. As she realizes where she is, Anya bumps into Kurt, who grabs her before she can try to escape.

As Keith orders his subordinates to kill Anya, Bond chews through his leash and jumps in front of Anya to defend her. While still submissive to the terrorists, he barks defiantly at them. Keith draws his knife to Anya, and Bond's ears perk up, having received a new vision. He barks at Anya, who reads his mind and foresees a phone ringing. Shortly after, the phone rings, distracting the terrorists long enough for Bond to grab Anya and escape the building.

While they run, Anya realizes Bond's powers. She tries telling Bond where to go, but he inadvertently runs in a circle going back to Keith. The two get cornered, but Yor jumps in to save Anya, knocking out Kurt and scaring away Keith. While Yor makes a report to the police, Bond has another vision. Anya reads his mind and sees the first vision, which changes with Loid disappearing from it, and Anya and Yor are saddened. She then sees a clock tower ringing, followed by an explosion in the city that kills Loid and sparks another war. Determined to change the future and save her father, Anya runs off to the clock tower with Bond.

After Anya and Bond arrive at the clock tower, Bond picks up Keith's scent and drags Anya around a corner to hide. The German Shepherd with Keith smells and spots the two but does not alert its master. After reading Keith's mind, Anya and Bond head to the bomb's location. There, Anya realizes she cannot defuse it and decides to leave a warning in ketchup for Loid. The two head outside and wait for the predetermined time of the explosion. When it arrives, Bond's premonition returns to a future with Loid alive and well, as thanks to Anya's message, Loid prevented the explosion. Anya celebrates with Bond, knowing that they saved the future.

After Keith is caught and the assassination plot is foiled, Bond and Anya go to the pet store and reunite her with her family. After hearing Yor and Anya's stories, Loid thanks Bond for protecting Anya. Members of WISE impersonating agents of the State Security Service show up and report that they need to take the dogs that the terrorists had used, including Bond. An upset Anya refuses this and, declaring that she wants Bond and threatens to stop going to school if she cannot have him. Handler decides it would be fine after they examine him overnight, overjoying Anya. The next day, Bond arrives at 128 Park Avenue with a warm welcome from the Forgers. Bond is initially nervous, remembering his poor treatment as a science experiment, but Anya assures him that he is now part of their family, and he barks happily.

After Anya returns home from school, Bond excitedly welcomes her by trampling her. The family decides to take Bond out for a walk while Anya struggles to think of a name for him. When they arrive at the park, Anya enthusiastically wants to play fetch with Bond. She throws her boot, hoping that he will go after it, but does it herself after Bond does not react. She wonders if it is because he has no name yet, so she goes around the park asking dog owners for the name of their dogs to help come up with one.

When the family gets ready to leave, Anya realizes her gloves are missing. Bond sniffs for the gloves and finds them in a bulldog's mouth. When the bulldog becomes possessive of the gloves, Bond scares it into dropping them, allowing him to pick them up and return them to Anya. This act causes Anya to recall a similar scene in Spy Wars, making her realize the perfect dog name.

When they get home, Anya wraps a bowtie collar around the dog's neck and introduces her parents to "Bond." The whole family, including Bond, approves the name. Anya gets out Bond's food and pours it into a bowl for him. While he eats, she sneaks a bite but realizes it does not taste good. She notices Bond fidgeting, so she takes him to his "toilet," where he uses the litter box to poop. The two then head to the TV to watch Spy Wars. While they play, Loid tells her to be ready to study once he is out of the bath. While he does this, Anya and Bond fall asleep, curled against each other on the floor after playing.

Midterm Exams Arc
While waiting for Yor to come home so the family can eat together, Anya shakes Bond, asking him to show her the dinner for the night. When Yor arrives and tells Loid and Anya to eat without her, Bond has a vision that shows Yor crying. The next night, Loid does obedience training with Bond and sees how bright he is. Yor then arrives and makes dinner. After her cooking is well-received by Loid and Anya, Yor cries while Bond sits on the side, watching silently.

The day before Anya's class, she requests Loid for a new family photo with Bond in it. She tries using this photo to show off Bond to Damian, but it ends up in Becky's hands, who keeps the picture for herself after falling head-over-heels for Loid. Anya then tries to replicate Bond's likeness through a paper model for the same goal but fails.

As Anya's midterm exams approach, she realizes she will not be able to cheat due to her power's weakness. Anya shakes Bond, asking him to show her the test answers. Anya instead sees hamburger steak, her supper for the night, causing her to forget her worries. The next day, Bond relaxes in the house while Yuri visits to help Anya with her studies. After eating all of Yor's homemade cookies before leaving, Yuri drops some crumbs on the floor. Bond eats the crumbs, causing him to collapse to the floor.

Campbelldon Tennis Arc
Loid and Anya decide to take Bond out for a walk and arrive home early when it starts looking like it will rain soon. At home, Loid's co-worker, Fiona Frost, is there with Yor. Anya reads Fiona's mind and is amused by her inner thoughts. However, she gets too distracted and accidentally spills her hot cocoa, and Loid firmly tells Bond not to drink it. After finding out what Fiona would do with her if she were her mother, Anya acts hostile toward her, hissing at her, and Loid tells Anya to play with Bond. As she does, she talks about how lucky she is to have her family, which touches Yor.

One night, Bond and Anya watch a cartoon and are shocked when the penguin character dies. Before she sleeps, Anya requests her penguin plush, Penguinman, to sleep with, which makes Bond jealous. Bond takes Penguinman and tears him up, leaving the damaged plush on the floor for Anya to find in the morning. When Loid points out the claw and bite marks on Penguinman, Anya reads Bond's mind and finds that Bond was behind the attack. Anya declares that she hates Bond, which shocks and saddens the dog. While Loid fixes Penguinman, Bond rustles through the kitchen to grab something, which Loid notices. After Loid gives Anya the repaired Penguinman, Bond approaches Anya with a bag of peanuts, asking for forgiveness. With advice from Loid, Anya forgives Bond for hurting Penguinman and apologizes for what she said, and the two reconcile.

While Loid attends a tennis competition with Fiona, Yor takes Anya and Bond to the park and play tennis together. Later, when Loid arrives at the park with Fiona, Bond watches with him and Anya as Fiona challenges Yor to a game of tennis and loses. Afterward, Loid and Yor go on a night out together so Loid can clear up his relationship with Fiona, and Anya and Bond stay at home while Franky Franklin looks after them.

Imperial Scholars Mixer Arc
After Anya comes back from her shopping trip with Becky Blackbell, she brings home a sheep keychain that she shows to Loid. Loid is stunned by its cost, and while Anya says it is her special thing with Becky, Bond glares at the keychain with a jealous look.

An asleep Anya is brought home by Becky and her servant, Martha. Bond stays by her side while she sleeps on the couch and also falls asleep, and when Loid returns home from the Imperial Scholars mixer, he and Yor watch them resting together, with Anya resting her head on Bond.

When Yor comes home in a sour mood, Loid decides to ask her out on a date the next day. Anya is also looking forward to the date, but Loid informs her that she cannot come and once again has Franky come over and look after them. Anya gets the idea to shadow her parents on their date, and Franky comes along, while Bond is assigned to guarding the house alongside Director Chimera and Agent Penguinman.

While lying on the couch, Bond receives a vision where everything he sees is pitch black. He wonders what it means and assumes a scientist from Project Apple will come to kill him. As Bond frets, he sees the family photos and imagines the Forgers mourning for him but says he died happily. Bond accepts his fate and goes to Anya's room to say goodbye, but she says she is busy with homework and shuts the door on him. Bond trudges to Yor, who apologizes for forgetting to buy more dog food. Because Loid is out working, Yor decides to cook Bond's dinner.

Remembering the vision, Bond believes he will die from eating Yor's cooking. Bond starts to panic, then realizes he can refuse to eat the food. However, he recalls Anya telling him that Yor would kill him if he upsets her and imagines such a situation. Bond starts thrashing around the house in defiance but comes up with an idea: if Loid comes home early, he can make Bond's dinner and, in turn, prevent his death. With this resolve, the family dog unlocks the door and runs away, bewildering Yor.

Bond runs around the streets of Berlint, sniffing for Loid's scent. He comes across a hot dog stand and gets shooed away by the owner. Bond imagines Yor getting mad at him for running away, so he leaves. As he runs into all kinds of trouble, a tired Bond sees the sun setting and becomes disheartened. However, after his stomach grumbles, he resolves to find Loid and continues his search.

He eventually tracks down Loid outside the Born Industries facility for an urgent side mission. Bond happily jumps to Loid, who is surprised to see him there, and tells him to go home. Bond refuses and tries to explain his situation to Loid. Loid does not understand, so Bond guides him to a route free of people. Loid wonders how Bond knows this and recalls that Born Industries was presumably involved with Project Apple. Assuming Bond knows this and wants payback against the scientists who abused him and his friends as test subjects, Loid lets him tag along to complete their missions.

The two infiltrate the facility and make their way to the laboratory, filled with specimen lockers, one of them containing the serum. While Loid works to find it, Bond has another vision. He foresees the staff returning to the lab, forcing Loid to hold them off, and orders Bond to run home. Bond becomes distressed and warns Loid to hide. Before hiding, Loid leaves a note saying the Gerrulimus has been stolen for the staff to see, leading them to open and check the locker with the serum. Loid and a masked Bond jump down on the men and knock them out. Loid thanks Bond as he retrieves the sample and says he can go home early. As a result, Bond has a vision of Loid making his dinner and Yor happy for his safety, and he barks for joy.

When Anya returns home to show Loid her test grades, he cheers her up by saying he made hamburg steak for dinner. Yor adds that she tried to make dessert, and Bond barks in horror.

Cruise Adventure Arc
After Anya wins two tickets to a luxury cruise, she expresses her excitement about going to the ocean. Bond chimes in with a bark, but he is shocked when Anya says he is not coming. When the Forgers leave for the trip, a sad Bond stays at home with Franky.

Franky takes Bond out for a walk early in the morning, which he is not too keen on doing. Franky rants at Bond about wanting to do his own thing rather than be the Forger's pet sitter and babysitter. However, after encountering a woman with her puppy at the park, Franky proposes that Bond become his dog.

When Loid, Yor, and Anya return from the trip, a crying Bond welcomes Anya home. Bond later joins the family while they commune in the living room.

WISE Arc
At the park, Loid is training Bond to immobilize targets without fatally wounding them. Bond lunges at Franky, who Loid is using as the target, and bites his cloth-covered arm, but quickly lets go when Franky starts yelling at him. Loid scolds Bond for releasing the target and muses that Bond is too kind to bark and bite. Loid decides to move on to scent work and explosives detection, but Bond looks forlorn upon hearing him, reminded of his bad memories at Project Apple. Franky suggests Loid make the training fun for Bond and leaves. Accepting his suggestion, Loid takes Bond for a walk through the streets.

While walking, Bond sees a vision of a boy dropping his ice cream and crying. He looks around and spots the same boy holding the ice cream and makes a plan to prevent the fall of his ice cream and receive Loid's praise. Bond runs forward and tries to stop the boy, but his actions end up causing the boy's ice cream to fall, leaving the child in tears. After Loid apologizes and buys him new ice cream with an extra scoop, he scolds Bond for his behavior.

Bond once again receives a vision, this time seeing an elderly man getting hit by a bicycle. He quickly runs over to the man and pulls him by the coat, saving him but angering him greatly. Loid angrily scolds Bond for biting strangers and is confused at Bond's actions despite his lack of disciplinary problems. Bond has another vision but chooses to ignore it after imagining an angry Loid sending him back to the pound.

Suddenly, Bond foresees an apartment in flames as a woman cries out for her 'Daisy.' Using his nose, he is able to pinpoint where the apartment is and tries running toward it. Loid initially holds him back but relents when Bond loudly barks at him. They arrive at the building, where Loid asks if anyone is still inside. Recalling his vision, Bond gnaws off his leash and runs into the building, with Loid following behind. Bond runs to one of the apartment rooms and picks up 'Daisy,' a small puppy. They try to leave the building, but a flaming pile of rubble falls and blocks the way out. Seeing their troubling situation, Bond begins to panic.

Loid quickly makes a plan to make their escape through the fire escape on the north side. Bond foresees the floor ahead of them collapsing and stops Loid from moving forward. After the event in the vision passes, Loid thanks Bond for saving him, mistakenly believing it was Bond's nose that was able to detect the collapse. Seeing the amount of smoke, Loid uses a plastic bag to make a crude oxygen tank, allowing them to cross the areas with smoke, and puts Daisy in a backpack.

The two jump out of the second-floor window and remove Daisy from the backpack after landing. A man nearby expresses his surprise at their efforts to save Daisy. They realize Bond is on fire and quickly douse him with a bucket of water. With his fur wet, Bond's body is revealed to be skinny, and Loid has to stifle his laughter, to Bond's embarrassment. Bond catches a scent and tries to shake off the water before running somewhere.

Bond jumps at a man hiding behind the corner and bites his leg. Panicked, the man reveals a knife from his bag and tries to hurt Bond, but Loid quickly immobilizes him and ties him up with a cord, deciding to let the police handle him.

Outside the apartment, the woman happily reunites with Daisy, hugging her. Bond smiles at the sight of the happy owner and dog. As the old man informs the woman of her saviors, Loid decides to leave discretely to avoid attention, to Bond's disappointment, after he sees a pleasant reward for him in a future vision. Loid pats Bond and praises him for his actions, also reminding him to be careful as the family cares about him. He apologizes for trying to train Bond so hard. Bond happily nuzzles up against Loid, which embarrasses him. As they return home, Loid plans for them to go to the dog park the next day, and Bond barks in agreement.

However, Bond does not remember Aaron, which upsets him, and having finished their meeting, Sylvia decides to leave. However, Anya knows Bond wants to play with Aaron, so the two run after Sylvia, asking for his name. Anya declares that the two dogs should have a showdown to see who is better. To Loid's surprise, Sylvia accepts and convinces him to participate by promising to remove his new extra mission if he wins.

The first event is the obstacle course, and whoever finishes it to the end faster wins. Aaron and Sylvia earn a flawless 39 seconds, but Bond stumbles across the course and finishes at over 2 minutes. However, Loid refuses to back down. The next event is "tracking and retrieving," in which the dogs must find their opposing owner's handkerchiefs, which have been hidden around the park. The dogs begin by familiarizing themselves with Loid and Sylvia's scents, who have wiped away their scent as much as possible. The dogs start tracking, but Bond quickly gives up and starts getting hungry. He catches the smell of pasta, which he begins tracking. He locates the scent on Sylvia's jacket, which has some dried pasta stuck to it, and coincidentally was where she hid her handkerchief. Thus, Bond wins the event.

The final event is frisbee tracking and the dog who can catch a frisbee thrown the farthest wins. Bond suddenly foresees Loid and Sylvia throwing their frisbees, but a sudden gust of wind brings it back to them, and they restart. Anya sees the vision, and she and Bond believe that the match is theirs. The events of the vision play out as Loid and Sylvia throw their frisbees, and while Aaron runs after the frisbee, Bond stays in place, to Loid's confusion. As the sudden gust of wind comes, the frisbee returns to Bond, who runs over to catch it. However, the frisbee hits him in the face, and he falls over, and Sylvia decides to call it a tie.

Afterward, Anya tells Aaron that she had fun playing with him, and together with Bond, the three play some more.

Despite that, Sylvia confirms that she did have fun and tells Anya they should play again sometime, to Anya and Bond's excitement.

Jealous at Anya's new toy, Bond ruffles his fur to imitate a lion's mane to impress Anya. Anya asks Bond to try being an elephant, but Bond fails to stretch his nose. She then asks him to be a giraffe, but when Bond struggles to stretch his neck, Yor soaks Bond's neck and legs to look thinner, which looks like an alpaca to Anya. Yor apologizes and brushes Bond's fur to normal, saying he looks better the way he is. Yor comments how Bond's fur has become shinier since they got him, and Anya asks to be shiny too, so Yor brushes her hair.
