Buck is a type of dog that doesn’t give give up, he was taken through some of the worst conditions and yet survived them. He was stolen, he was beaten, he was forced to run the entire distance of the Yukon mountain range. But yet he pushed through clung to life as if it was the only thing left that he had.

Buck was determined to kill Spitz. While pursuing that mission, though, he not only risked his life, but the teamwork of the other dogs. “It was to the death,” (London 31). This text shows how Buck risked his life because the fight between him and Spitz was “to the death”. “With the covert mutiny of Buck, a general insubordination sprang up and increased,” (London 28). This text shows how Buck risked his teamwork with the other dogs because Spitz and him were always fighting.

Buck is the main character of this novel. The other animals in the novel are Buck, Curly, Spitz, Dave, Billee, Joe, Sol-leks, Dolly, Pike, Dub, Skeet, and Nig. Buck’s mother was a Scotch Sheppard, and his father was a huge Saint Bernard. Buck was a civilized dog, but answers the call of the wild and becomes one with the wild. Curly was Buck’s companion on the boat trip to the North. Curly is described in the novel as a “good-natured Newfoundland.” Curly does not survive long; however, Buck learns a gruesome lesson when he sees how easily Curly was murdered while trying to be friendly with Spitz. Spitz was the dog that assassinated Curly and becomes Buck’s most bitter enemy. He was terminated later in the novel by Buck in a dog brawl. Buck’s victory entitled him to take over the lead of the dogs that belonged to Spitz. The dog fight illustrated to me Buck’s ability to survive even among the most primitive elements. Dave, Billee, Joe, Sol-leks, Dolly, Pike, and Dub are the other dogs that serve on the dogsled team with Buck. Finally, Skeet and Nig were two of John Thornton’s dogs that he owned before he rescued and adopts

Buck lost everything that he wants and everything that he loves. “The last tie was broken. Man and the claims of man no longer bound him.”(23).

Then came the blood lusting to kill whoever had murdered John Thornton, his handler and his lover. John Thornton had meant everything to him, Thornton was the reason he came back from the forest each time. He felt the grief of losing his loved one who he could not live without.

As if it wasn't hard enough the dogs weren't the friendliest and tended to take what wasn't theirs. As soon as Buck began to adapt to his environment he began fighting back leading to him standing up for himself. He began to build strength through this transformation as a result making him much more powerful. This would become his first step toward leadership. The leader at this time was Splitz, who I think found Buck as a threat because he knew he had great potential of being a leader. Buck was the only on in the pack who matched Splitz in strength. Meaning splitz was just waiting for a fight to pick with Buck, a fight to the death. Buck wasn't scared, I know this because Buck was brave. Buck first showed his bravery against the man in the red sweater who beat Buck with a club and yet Buck never let that phase him. Very soon Buck would show this strength  and bravery. Slowly equality began to be shown to him and Splitz from the rest of the pack. At the same time the dogs didn't really fear splitz anymore either in fact they even began bullying him.
