The latter, after he had dressed himself, paid a visit to Muskwa, and when he found the basin licked clean he showed his pleasure by calling the others' attention to what had happened.
Muskwa had climbed to his crotch in the tree, and again he tolerated the stroking touch of Langdon's hand.

Then Langdon brought forth another can from a cowhide pannier and opened it directly under Muskwa, so that he could see the creamy white fluid as it was turned into the basin.

He held the basin up to Muskwa, so close that the milk touched the cub's nose, and for the life of him Muskwa could not keep his tongue in his mouth.

Inside of five minutes he was eating from the basin in Langdon's hand! But when Bruce came up to watch the proceedings the cub bared all his teeth and snarled.
"Bears make better pets than dogs," affirmed Bruce a little later, when they were eating breakfast.

"He'll be following you around like a puppy in a few days, Jimmy." "I'm getting fond of the little cuss already," replied Langdon.
