## Story

It was a nice night in Adventure Bay. Purdy in her new home with her owner, was walking to a room with Maxford. They had reunited a couple months before the move. They head into the room with a white black and brown pup laying in a pup bed on his side almost falling asleep.

Purdy: Hi buddy.

Maxford: Hi bud. How are you feeling Nikola? (Nikola had been sick for the past few days)

Nikola: Hi mom. Hi dad. I'm feeling better.

Purdy: That's good son.

Nikola: Mom can you tell me one of those stories again?

Purdy: Why of course, Nikola. There once was a German Shepherd mix like you who went into the armed forces to become an attack dog. He was one of the greatest attack dogs there was, but one day while in Iraq he lost his leg to a bomb. He healed from the bomb and went through rehabilitation. Then he went back to his hometown and enjoyed the rest of his life.

Nikola: I always like those stories. Mom, who is the veteran attack dog?

Purdy: It's your big brother, Noah.

Nikola: What!? He is?!

Maxford: Yep he is Nikola.

Nikola: I never knew that.

Purdy: You never asked bud. Now get some sleep.

Nikola: Okay night mom. Night dad. He gave them both a lick on cheek

Maxford: Night Nikola. He and Purdy gave Nikola a lick on the nose.

Nikola: Hehe. He giggles then he fell asleep as Purdy and Maxford head out of his room and go to their room and fall asleep.

The Next Day

Nikola woke up that next day and was ready for an another adventure. He headed down to the kitchen to have breakfast.

Nikola: Morning mom. Morning dad.

Purdy: Morning Nikola. How did you sleep last night?

Maxford: Morning.

Nikola: I slept good. I dreamt about meeting Noah for the first time.

Purdy: That's good your brother is a very friendly and happy pup.

Nikola: Okay that sounds good. Do you guys know where he is?

Purdy: I am sorry Nikola, but no I haven't seen your brother in a long time.

Maxford: Me too sorry son.

Nikola: It's okay. I could go searching for him today.

Purdy: That would be great Nikola.

Nikola smiles. Then the family soon eats.

Nikola had packed a couple things in a bag. Then Purdy told him what Noah looked like when she last saw him.

Purdy: Bye Nikola. Good luck finding Noah.

Maxford: Bye son. Good luck.

Nikola: Thanks mom and dad. He hugged them and then headed out the door.

Nikola looked at the town. It was another bright sunny day in Adventure Bay. He took in a deep breath.

Nikola: Time to search for Noah. I'm coming big brother.

Nikola had searched the part of town by Katie's and the Lookout, but no luck. Then he went to Mr. Porter's to get something to eat.

Nikola: Hi Mr. Porter could I have some meatballs to go please?

Mr. Porter: Sure Nikola. Your order will be out in a couple minutes.

Nikola: Okay. He walked over to Mr. Porter's fruit stand and sat down. Then he heard something and saw two pups walking on the sidewalk.

Pup 1: I can't believe he can do that.

Pup 2: Yeah he calmed down an aggressive charging bear.

Pup 1: and you heard he was an armed forces veteran?

Pup 2: Yep an attack dog veteran.

The pups walk past Nikola.

Nikola: Excuse me sorry for eavesdropping, but who are you two talking about?

Pup 2: The animal pup of the Disabled PAW Patrol, Noah.

Nikola: He's my big brother. I have been looking for him.

Pup 1: Cool we are big fans of him.

Pup 2: Yep. Good luck finding him.

Nikola: Thanks.

Mr. Porter came out and gave Nikola his meatballs in a to go bag.

Mr. Porter: There you go Nikola plus there is a small bag of pup treats in there.

Nikola: Thanks Mr. Porter. He grabbed the bag with his mouth and he searched some more.

Nikola: I wonder where Noah could be.

Nikola went searching by the pup park when he saw a two pups and a wolf pup one of those pups fit his mom's description but he had a wired looking metal leg instead of the black brown and white leg. Purdy told him Noah's appearance might be different that she described since he went through the armed forces.

Nikola: That must be Noah. He smiled and ran to Noah.

Noah: Hello there!

Nikola: Hi Are you Noah?

Noah: Yep I'm Noah the animal pup of the Disabled PAW Patrol. Who are you?

Nikola: I'm Nikola son of Purdy and Maxford. I'm your little brother.

Noah: Really?

Nikola: Yep. Then Noah hugged and licked him.

Noah: I am so glad I have a brother of my mine own.

Nikola: Me too big brother.

Noah: Brandy! Capone! Come here! He yipped to call Capone.

Brandy: Coming Noah!

Capone: "Yip" Coming Noah!

Capone and Brandy ran to Noah.

Noah: Brandy. Capone. Meet Nikola my little brother. Nikola this is my best friend, Brandy and my red wolf pup pet, Capone.

Nikola: Hi nice to meet you two.

Brandy: Whoa you never told us you had a little brother.

Capone: "Yip" Yeah.

Noah: I just found out about it about a minute ago.

Capone: "Yip" Oh okay.

Brandy: Well anyways nice to meet you Nikola. Do you wanna play with us?

Nikola: Sure I would love to.

Capone: "Yip" Then let's go.

The four went and played tag together but while they were playing tag Nikola was chasing Brandy and Capone he felt something weird.

Nikola: I gonna get you. He was just about to jump to get of them when he felt wired and stopped running.

Nikola: Whoa what is going on?

Noah ran over to him.

Noah: Are you okay little brother?

Nikola: Yeah I think I may need a break.

Noah: Okay I will take over for you. Nikola tags him.

Nikola: Thanks Noah.

Noah: No problem. He bolted towards Capone and Brandy.

Nikola went under a tree close by and watched his big brother and his friends. He smiled watching them.

But then Noah was running almost tagging Brandy when the three year old German Shepherd mix tripped on something and fell on his belly. Noah didn't get up. He started to shake then his limbs started to swing everywhere.

Nikola: Noah! He ran to him.

Capone: "Yip" Oh no Brandy call Marshall quick. He had his special tablet around his neck by that time.

Brandy: On it (She speaks into her pup tag) Marshall come in this is Brandy.

Marshall: (From her pup tag) Hey Brandy what's up?

Brandy: Marshall Noah is having a seizure again. We are at the pup park.

Marshall: (From her pup tag) Okay I will be there as quick as I can. I'm fired up!

Brandy: Okay. She hung up.

Capone had gotten Noah on his side.

Nikola: What's wrong with Noah?

Brandy: I'm afraid Noah has epilepsy which means he has seizures.

Capone: "Yip" but how did this one happen. Noah has been eating and drinking healthy all week. He hasn't missed his meds. His translated words appeared on his special tablet.

Brandy: I know Noah must of gotten too hot. Heat causes them too.

Capone: "Yip" Yeah I forgot about that one. His translated words appeared on his tablet.

Nikola: Oh okay. Is he gonna be okay? He said worried for his big brother.

Brandy: He will be. I know it. It has happened a couple times.

Marshall had drove up to the four in his ambulance. Then he jumped out of his ambulance.

Brandy: Thanks for coming Marshall.

Marshall: No problem how long has it lasted?

Capone: "Yip" About 2 minutes which is bad. His translated words came on his tablet.

Marshall: Yeah we better get Noah to the hospital just to be safe and who is this? He said pointing at Nikola.

Nikola: I-i'm N-nikola I'm Noah's little brother.

Marshall: Nice to meet you Nikola. I'm Marshall fire and EMT pup of the PAW Patrol. (He had put Noah on his stretcher and loaded him into his ambulance) Do you have your vehicles with you Brandy and Capone?

The German Shepherd/Boxer mix and the Red Wolf pup nodded.

Nikola: Could I ride with Noah in your ambulance Marshall?

Marshall: Sure hop in.

Nikola went into the back of Marshall's ambulance and looked at his older brother. Marshall hopped into the driver's seat, turned on the sirens and drove to the hospital.

Capone jumped into his search and rescue truck and Brandy jumped into her guard/security truck. The two drove to the hospital right behind Marshall.

When Marshall got there the hospital staff took care of Noah. His seizure had finally stopped and he was asleep in a hospital bed with Nikola and Dr. Albert Morgan in his room. Nikola had told Dr. Morgan that he was Noah's younger brother and they decided to chat for awhile.

Nikola: So how did Noah get his epilepsy?

Dr. Morgan: When your brother was in Iraq and the bomb happened. Noah had gotten a head injury in the process. Head injuries are the most common way to get epilepsy like your brother does.

Nikola: Okay. Dr. Morgan I kinda felt wired earlier. We were play tag out in the pup park and just before I was about to tag Brandy. I felt something wired going on.

Dr. Morgan: Hmmm was is before the seizure had happened?

Nikola nodded

Dr. Morgan: Hmmm Nikola I think you can sense Noah's seizures before they happen.

Nikola: Really?

Dr. Morgan: Yep that would be helpful for your brother. How would you like to become a seizure alert service dog to help your big brother?

Nikola: I would love to. Anything to help my big brother. He smiled big and looked back at Noah.

Dr. Morgan: Great Nikola. (He gave Nikola a pet on the head) Your training starts tomorrow.

Nikola: Okay I will be here Dr. Morgan.

Dr. Morgan walked out and Nikola couldn't wait to tell Noah the good news once he woke up. Brandy and Capone came in and the three had spent some time with each other to get to know one another better.

Noah woke up awhile later and smiled at his brother, best friend and wolf pup.

Nikola: Hi big brother. How are you feeling?

Noah: I am feeling better. Thanks for asking little brother.

Nikola: Your welcome. Oh I have some good news.

Noah: What is your news?

Nikola: You know how I kinda felt weird before you had your seizure.

Noah: Yeah?

Nikola: I had talked to Dr. Morgan about it and he said I can sense your seizures before they happen. I'm gonna become a seizure alert service dog to help you with your epilepsy Noah!

Noah: That's great Nikola!

Nikola: Yeah my training starts tomorrow.

Brandy: That's good for you Nikola.

Capone: "Yip" Yep that will be great. His translated words came on his special tablet. Then the wolf pup jumped around.

Noah: Whoa Capone be careful.

Capone: "Yip" Hehe. He stopped and went back by Brandy.

Brandy: Your are silly and funny Capone you know that.

Capone: "Yip" Hehe I do.

It started to get late and the four fell asleep in Noah's room.

The Next Day.

Nikola woke up early that morning as Dr. Morgan came into Noah's room.

Dr. Morgan: Are you ready to start your training Nikola?

Nikola nodded confidently.

Dr. Morgan: Great follow me.

Nikola: Okay.

They go to another part of the hospital and went into a room. Nikola saw a big Greater Swiss Mountain Dog with a yellow service dog vest on.

Dr. Morgan: Nikola this is Ezri. Ezri, this is Nikola. He is gonna your new trainee.

Ezri: Nice to meet you Nikola. So what kind of service dog are you gonna be, Nikola?

Nikola: N-nice t-to meet you to, Ezri. I want to be a seizure alert service dog to help my big brother, Noah, with his epilepsy.

Ezri: Okay that kind of service dog. I know all kinds of service dog training.

Nikola: Really?

Ezri: Yep.

Nikola: Cool.

Erzi: Thanks. Now let's start your training.

Nikola: Okay.

Then the training began.

Ezri taught Nikola how to turn Noah on his dormant side when he has a seizure. She also taught him to make sure his airway is clear and nothing is by him or in the way of his limbs when they are swinging everywhere. She also told him everything about epilepsy and how to manage it and Noah's seizures.

Nikola: Thank you for teaching me these things, Ezri. You are a great mentor.

Ezri: Your Welcome, Nikola and thank you. You are a great trainee too.

Nikola smiled.

Nikola: No problem, Ezri.

Ezri: Well come back in a couple days. Study and practice all the things I taught you. You will have a test on it and bring your big brother I would like to meet him.

Nikola: I will, Ezri.

Dr. Morgan: Okay Nikola. Let's head back to Noah, Brandy, and Capone.

Nikola: Okay Dr. Morgan. Bye Ezri. See you in the next couple days.

Ezri: Bye Nikola. See ya later. Bye Dr. Morgan.

Dr. Morgan: Bye Ezri

The two headed back to Noah's room. It was almost noon and Noah was ready to go home. Dr. Morgan had left.

Noah: Hey Nikola. How did your first training go?

Nikola: It was great! My mentor's name is Ezri! She is a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog and she taught me a lot! She is a great mentor! Oh she asked me to bring you when I go back in a couple of days to test on the things she taught me today!

Brandy: That's great Nikola!

Capone: "Yip" That's great Nikola. His translated words appeared on his special tablet.

Noah: Okay. If I'm not busy when you go back I will go along with you.

Nikola: Great. I can't wait to become a full fledged seizure alert service dog!

Noah: I can't wait too bro! Then we will always be together, like brothers and siblings should.

Brandy: Yeah now this trio became a quartet!

Capone: "Yip" Yep the more pups the merrier. His words appeared translated on his tablet.

Nikola: Yeah thanks for letting me in your group, Brandy and Capone.

Brandy: Your welcome Nikola.

Capone: "Yip" No problem Nikola. His translated words appeared on his tablet.

Then Dr. Morgan came in.

Dr. Morgan: Okay Noah. You ready to head home?

Noah: Ready as I will ever be.

Dr. Morgan: Good.

Noah got out of bed then they headed to the front desk and Noah was discharged from the hospital. Nikola, Capone, Brandy and him went in the parking lot. Then Noah jumped into Brandy's blackish grayish guard/security truck and Nikola jumped into Capone's blue and yellow search and rescue truck. The two drove to the Disabled PAW Patrol Lookout. Then they parked their vehicles. The four spent rest of the day in the Lookout until bed time.

A couple days later.

Brandy was with Nikola going over on what he was going to test with Ezri.

Brandy: What do you do when someone starts to have a seizure?

Nikola: I turn them on their dominant side?

Brandy: Good. Then what do you do?

Nikola: I make sure their airway is clear and nothing is in their way or space?

Brandy: Good. What can a pup or person do to manage their seizures?

Nikola: They need to take their medicine along with a good diet and good hydration?

Brandy: Good. What is one thing that can cause a person to have a seizure?

Nikola: Heat?

Brandy: Good. That's all the questions.

Nikola: How did I do.

Brandy: You got them all right.

Nikola: Yes. I ready to test.

Brandy: You are definitely ready.

Then Noah and Capone go over to them.

Noah: Hey guys.

Capone: "Yip" Hey guys.

Nikola: Hey how was the mission?

Noah: It was great. We saved a whole bunch of animals

Capone: "Yip" It was great.

Noah: So how did Nikola do on his little pre-test?

Brandy: He did great.

Noah: That's great. Good job Nikola.

Nikola: Thanks. Oh, remember we have to go to see Ezri today.

Noah: I know Nikola. You have been reminding these last couple days.

Nikola: Sorry bro.

Noah: It's fine Nikola. Let's go.

Nikola: Okay. Bye Brandy. Bye Capone.

Noah: Bye Brandy. Bye Capone.

Brandy: Bye you two.

Capone: "Yip" Bye.

Noah and Nikola went to Noah's animal truck and hopped in. Then Noah drove to the hospital. They jumped down and headed in.

Ezri saw them and walked over.

Nikola: Hey Ezri.

Ezri: Hey Nikola. Is this your big brother?

Nikola: The one and only.

Noah: Nice to meet you Ezri. Nikola has told me a lot about you.

Ezri: Nice to meet you too Noah. Hmm, you seem familiar.

Noah: I was an attack dog in the United States Armed Forces and I have been on television a couple times.

Ezri: You're Noah the famous attack dog veteran amputee!? It's an honor to meet you.

Noah: The honor is all mine. It's nice to meet another fan.

Ezri: Okay. Come on Nikola it is time for your seizure alert service dog test.

Nikola: Okay Ezri

Then Nikola and Ezri head into Ezri's office while Noah waits outside.

Ezri: So did you study?

Nikola: Yep. Noah, Brandy, Noah's best friend, and Noah's red wolf pup, Capone helped me study.

Ezri: That's good. Now let's get to it.

Nikola: Okay.

Ezri took out a paper with all the questions and their answers.

Ezri: What do you do when someone starts to have a seizure?

Nikola: I turn them on their dominant side?

Ezri: Then what do you do?

Nikola: I make sure their airway is clear and nothing is in their way or space?

Ezri: What can a pup or person do to manage their seizures?

Nikola: They need to take their medicine along with a good diet and good hydration?

Ezri: What is one thing that can cause a person to have a seizure?

Nikola: Heat?

Ezri: That's all the questions. Now for the paws on part of the test.

Nikola: Okay.

Nikola was giving a test with someone having a seizure. He immediately reacted and remembered what to do. He turned the person on it's side. He made sure their airway was clear and anything that was in their way or space. He moved it out of the way.

Ezri watched the whole thing and she smiled. She walked over to him proud.

Nikola: How did I do, Ezri?

Erzi: You passed, Nikola. You are now an official service dog.

Nikola: Yay! I can't wait to tell Noah.

Ezri: Okay, but first I have a gift for you.

Nikola: Okay.

Ezri went behind her desk in her office and got out a box wrapped in red wrapping paper.

Ezri: Here you go open it.

Nikola opened it and Ezri's gift turned out to be a vest like hers, but it was red with three service patches on each side and an ID on the top of the vest with his name, breed, birth-date, a picture of him, and Noah's name on it. There was also a new white collar with red medical crosses on with a pup tag pinned on it. The pup tag looked like Noah's, but it has a red medical cross on it.

Nikola: Thank you, Ezri. He hugged her

Ezri: Your welcome, Nikola. She hugged him.

Then he went out to Noah with an unhappy look on his face to trick him.

Noah: How did it go?

Nikola: Noah I don't know how to tell you this...

Noah: It's okay if you didn't pass.

Nikola: I passed!!! He said jumping up.

Noah: Oh you little trickster.

Nikola: Hehe I got you.

Noah: Yep you did.

Nikola: Oh, got some things from Ezri. He got the box of gifts she gave him.

Noah: That's great.

Nikola: Can you help me put on my new vest and collar, please?

Noah: Of course, Nikola. He helped Nikola put on his new vest and collar.

Nikola: How do I look?

Noah: You look great, little bro.

Nikola: Great. Could I show you something, Noah?

Noah: Sure. Where is it?

Nikola: In town I'll show you. Come let's go.

Then the two head out and hopped in Noah's animal truck. Nikola shows him where to go. They pull up a blue house in Adventure Bay.

Nikola jumps out and runs over to the house. Then Noah jumps out and looks at the house.

Noah: Is this where you live, Nikola? He said walking to the door.

Nikola: Yes. (He opened the door) Mom, dad I'm home!

Purdy and Maxford came to them and saw him and Noah.

Purdy: Noah?

Noah: Mom?

They both ran to each other and hugged.

Noah: (with tears in his eyes) I thought I would never see you again. I have missed you much.

Purdy: I have missed you too, Noah. You have grown up since I last saw you. She said almost crying

Maxford walked over to his mate and older son. Noah saw him and recognized the scent of his father.

Noah: Dad.

Maxford: Yes it's me, Noah. He said giving Noah a hug.

Noah: I don't remember you dad, but I do remember you scent around the alley.

Maxford: I'm sorry for leaving you and your mother when you were born. I didn't feel like I was ready for a pup.

Noah: It's fine, dad. What matters is that you are here now and I have finally meet you and reunited with mom.

Maxford: Thanks son.

Noah: I have so much to tell you two.

Purdy: You can tell us tomorrow it's starting to get late.

Noah: Okay, could I stay with you guys for the night?

Maxford: You don't have to ask, son. You are always welcome no matter what.

Noah: Okay.

Purdy and Maxford noticed Nikola's new vest and collar.

Purdy: Nikola, what are you wearing?

Nikola: A service dog vest and a new collar. I became an official seizure alert service dog today.

Maxford: For who?

Noah: Me. After my career in the armed forces I developed epilepsy due to a head injury when the accident happened.

Purdy: Oh, you poor pup.

Noah: It's okay, mom. My friends and Nikola help me with it. In fact Nikola can sense my seizures before they happen.

Maxford: That's good my sons.

Nikola yawned.

Purdy: Aww is my little pup tired?

Nikola: (yawned again) Yes. Hey Noah wanna spend the night in my room?

Noah: Sure Nikola. Good night mom. Good night dad.

Purdy and Maxford: Good night Noah. Night Nikola.

Nikola: Good night mom and dad. Come on follow me, big bro.

Noah: Okay.

They went to Nikola's room. Nikola got out a spare bed for Noah. Noah help him take off his vest. Then the two fell asleep cuddled up together.

In morning, Noah started talking about all the things that happened in his life and spent time with his mother and father.

Thee End.
