Spiral: a gradual change

It is told that Huan pursued the sons of Fëanor, and they fled in fear; and returning he brought to Lúthien a herb out of the forest. With that leaf he staunched Beren's wound, and by her arts and by her love she healed him; and thus at last they returned to Doriath. 

It took Beren some time to get used to Huan. He remembered the dogs they had in Dorthonion and none had been quite as large as the hound that once belonged to the son of Fëanor.

Lúthien, of course, had no such concerns. Huan was hardly the strangest animal she had met growing up, for Melian caused and attracted strangeness in turn, and so the hound quickly became another of her animal friends.

Beren befriended Huan during the quiet moments of their quest. There were head scritches and little games, brief moments of happiness set against their dark journey and slowly, they grew closer. And their bond may not have been as quick to grow as that between Lúthien and Huan, but it was no lesser for it.
