"He could open the gate to his pen, and he figured out how to turn on the water hydrant." (paragraph 2)​

"Carefully, I offered him a piece of carrot, too." (paragraph 4)​

". . . Ranger kept his distance, a canyon of suspicion between us." (paragraph 1)

Answer 1

". . . he finally pinched it in his lips and took a single, hesitant bite." — This shows the change. At the start Ranger "kept his distance," but by paragraph 5 he’s close enough and willing to take food from the narrator, indicating growing trust.
