He was with Nepeese whenever and wherever she moved.

They swam together in the two pools--the pool in the forest and the pool between the chasm walls.

At first it alarmed Baree to see Nepeese dive from the rock wall over which she had pushed McTaggart, but at the end of a month she had taught him to plunge after her through that twenty feet of space.
It was late in August when Baree saw the first of his kind outside of Kazan and Gray Wolf.

During the summer Pierrot allowed his dogs to run at large on a small island in the center of a lake two or three miles away, and twice a week he netted fish for them.

On one of these trips Nepeese accompanied him and took Baree with her.
