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 by a group of isolationist terrorists. 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 scheme.

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 curiously decides to follow the dog, which leads her right to the terrorists' hideout. Unfortunately, she ends up getting caught listening to their plans, and they decide they need to silence her. However, the dog protects Anya and helps her escape, and Anya learns that the dog is a clairvoyant.

WISE continues pursuing the terrorists, but all hideouts they find are abandoned. Meanwhile, Yor goes looking for Anya and sees her escaping 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 away from her in fear. Yor reports the incident and terrorist's plan 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 events lead 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.

WISE and Handler capture all the terrorists, except Keith, and interrogate them. They end up getting four potential bomb locations to check, and Loid heads off to investigate one of them. Anya gets to the bomb first, but because she does not know how to disarm it, she leaves a cryptic message for Loid, hoping it will stop him from opening the door and activating the bomb behind it. Anya's plan works as Loid finds the bomb, leaving it to the State Security Service to deal with it. He then heads to Minister Brantz in order to impersonate him and lure out Keith. Loid gets into a car and begins driving around, and, just as planned, Keith follows after him.

After the other agents are caught in an car accident by Keith, Loid decides to run off on foot, and Keith sends a bomb dog after him. Loid gets pinned by the dog, but before Keith detonates it, he quickly removes the bomb from the dog and throws it in the river. With his plans foiled, Keith attempts to escape, but Yor finds him and kicks his car off the road, causing him to crash into a pole. Afterward, Yor reports the unconscious Keith to the police.

The Forgers reunite after Keith's arrest, and Loid learns that Anya and Yor got caught up in the terrorist plot. Impersonating SSS agents, Handler shows up and reports that they need to take the dogs that the terrorists 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 and receives a warm welcome from the Forgers. The next day, Anya struggles to come up with a name for the dog. The Forgers decide to take a trip to the dog park, where Loid reaffirms his goal to end the cold war, while Anya is able to find a name their dog after noticing the similarities in how he looks and acts like Bondman from *Spy Wars*, thus naming their new family member "Bond."
