The two befriended each other, sharing breakfast and play, with the bear quietly tender and the dog bold. By afternoon they slept side by side as crowds watched their unusual bond.

The narrative recalls a seaside clambake near Wardell's Hotel with waves and a gramophone playing Love Me and the World's Mine. There is sports banter about a 73 to 73 score after five innings and Jack Hammond hitting two home runs in one inning.
