In that part of the story where Phoenix encountered the hunter, Phoenix told the hunter to use his dog to get rid of the other dog, but after a while the hunter returned and turns out he just scared the other dog. Also while he was pointing a gun at Phoenix, he believed what Phoenix said about her having a lot of experiences about that situation, so the hunter showed respect by not doing it.
