After Cole is mauled the first time, the bear returns and mysteriously stops just short of Cole, and then he turns around and walks off into the distance. At this point, Cole becomes quite delusional and imagines himself as a bird in a nest, struggling to fly. Then, as he comes out of this delirium, he sees the Spirit Bear inches from his head, above him. Instead of trying to spit at him or yell at him, Cole instead decides to rub the bear’s shoulder and white fur coat, grabbing a tuft of white hair and putting it in his pocket. The bear does not attack, and there is a sense of trust between them.

So, no, the bear doesn't attack Cole a second time. if the bear attacked him again, he would be...over! Dead! Killed! Murdered by a spirit bear? How funny.
