Patch, the faithful dog of the Davis family in Vancouver, Washington, had been the ardent wish of children Andrew and Clara and they adored him from the first moment they spent together. Patch also nuzzled his way into parents Nola and Richard's hearts. But over the course of time, a problem developed.
The family feared that they had made a serious mistake: they had underestimated the dog's space requirements. Patch was simply too big for their small house.
They knew that it would break the kids' hearts to give Patch up, but they didn't see any other solution and so convened a family meeting.
As the parents broke the sad news that they needed to find Patch a new home, the children protested vehemently. The didn't want to be separated from their beloved friend and loyal family member. Their mother Nola softened in her resolve and promised to postpone the final decision for a few days.
One afternoon, Nola was at home alone and decided to take a bath to relax. As she was already lying in the tub, Patch unexpectedly came into the bathroom and refused to leave. Eventually, Patch started biting Nola on the wrist. This got her attention but made her anxious at the same time. When she stepped out of the tub and looked through the bathroom door towards the stairs, she saw to her horror that the entire house was engulfed in flames.
Nola and Patch escaped into the yard together. But then seeing her car parked beside the house, Nola wanted to run back into the house to collect her car keys. Patch was having none of it, and wouldn't allow his beloved friend to go back in. At that moment, there was a violent explosion and the house collapsed.
Patch had saved Nola's life not once, but twice. After this event one thing was clear: Patch would be staying with the family, as they would never find a truer companion!
