A solitary child and her little brown dog fend off a bear seeking entry to their wintry mountain cave, only to discover that the bear was simply trying to get to its cub. The quietly luminous art reinforces the characters' vulnerability and their eventual bond, allowing all four of them to curl up together for warmth in the cold night.
