Still, their bond is undeniable. Red is fast and strong, smart and noble, and incredibly loyal and soon Danny and Red are meeting nature on their own terms, enduring a blizzard, and even facing down a wolverine. But can Danny and Red take on the enemy that threatens everyone on the mountain--the bear they call Old Majesty?
