The story

Forced to fend for himself, the cub struggles to find food and shelter.

A friendship forms between the two, with the Kodiak teaching the cub how to catch salmon and hunt mule deer.

The Kodiak and the cub are tracked down again by the two hunters, now joined by a third man, his pack of Beaucerons, and Tom's Airedale Terrier.
