## Summary

Loid fires at the dog, shooting off the strap holding the bomb on it. The dog pounces on Loid and pushes him to the ground, prompting Keith to detonate the bomb. However, Loid had already thrown the bomb into the river behind him, leaving him unharmed by the explosion. Loid pulls the dog up and throws it into the dumpster next to him. Keith is surprised by all this and sees that the man in the distance is not Minister Brantz Keith realizes that his plan is in trouble, so he attempts to escape.

Nearby, Yor frantically looks around for Anya, who has once again run off on her own. While crossing a footbridge, she spots Keith driving away and jumps onto the road in front of him. Keith tries to go forward, but Yor kicks his car off the road, causing him to crash and fall unconscious. She calls the police about finding the terrorist in an accident and resumes her search for Anya afterward.

Back at Kemono Park, the pet shop run by WISE, Loid, Handler, and the other two WISE agents discuss all that went down that day. Handler states that they will let the Ostanian government handle cleaning up all the mess. One agent asks if that includes giving them the dogs, but Handler says they will keep them for now until they get further orders. Afterward, Loid takes his leave, telling them that he needs to get back to his family. However, outside the shop, he runs into Anya, Bond, and Yor. Anya and Yor make excuses to Loid about why they were not at the adoption fair before Loid asks about Bond.

Yor explains their side of the story, shocking Loid, who realizes they got caught in the terrorist crisis and apologizes for being stuck in the restroom. Loid yells at Anya for running off, then confirms her safety, and Anya tells him Bond protected her. Loid recognizes the dog as a Project Apple test subject and cannot let him run free, so he looks over to Handler, who acknowledges this. After Loid thanks Bond for protecting Anya, Handler and another WISE agent disguised as SSS agents approach the family for questioning. After the family answer the questions, Handler says they will need to take the dog because of its connection to the terrorists. However, Anya refuses the idea, telling them that the only dog she wants is Bond. Loid attempts to convince her to pick another dog, but Anya is too attached to Bond after he saved her life. She tells them that if she cannot keep Bond, she will never go to school again, shocking Loid and Handler.

Handler relents, shocking Loid even more. Yor asks if that would be okay, and Handler tells her they will sort things out. Loid tries to change Handler's mind, but she is set on the idea as she does not want to endanger Operation Strix. Anya asks Handler if they will treat the dogs well, and Handler assures her that they will. After talking about Anya with Loid, Handler mentions having had a daughter around the same age and smiles, relieved that peace won the day. She tells the family that they will take Bond overnight to have him examined for any health issues and will bring him to their home tomorrow if there are no other issues. Walking back home, Yor and Anya proudly think about how they saved the day while Loid just painfully sighs about narrowly saving it.

In the morning, Anya anxiously moves around the apartment, waiting for Bond to arrive. She hears a buzz from the door before a WISE agent brings Bond into the room. Anya excitedly welcomes Bond to his new home while Loid and Yor smile at him. Bond remembers his past life in Project Apple, where he was experimented on and abused by scientists. Anya and Yor wonder if he is okay and tells him that he is now part of the Forger family. He excitedly barks at this, and Anya gives him a big hug.
