Christopher's relationship with his father changes, not because his father changes, but because Christopher, himself, changes. This happens when he uncovers the truth about the dead dog, and the situation between his mother and his father. He goes from viewing his father as this larger than life kind of guy, to an ordinary guy, to hating him, then back to loving him..... in spite of his problems.
