3.The wild animal
The wild animal was strong in Buck, and as he travelled across the snow, it grew stronger and stronger. 
And as Buck grew stronger, he hated Spitz more and more, although he was careful never to start a fight.
But Spitz was always showing his teeth to Buck, trying to start a fight. 
And Buck knew that if he and Spitz fought, one of them would die.
The fight almost happened one night when they stopped by Lake Laberge. 
There was heavy snow and it was very cold. 
The lake was frozen and Francois, Perrault, and the dogs had to spend the night on the ice, under a big rock. 
Buck had made a warm hole in the snow and was sorry to leave it to get his piece of fish. 
But when he had eaten, and returned to his hole, he found Spitz in it. 
Buck had tried not to fight Spitz before, but this was too much. 
He attacked him angrily. Spitz was surprised. 
He knew Buck was big, but he didn't know he was so wild. 
Francois was surprised too, and guessed why Buck was angry.
‘Go on Buck!’ he shouted. ‘Fight him, the dirty thief!’
Spitz was also ready to fight, and the two dogs circled one another, looking for the chance to jump in. 
But suddenly there was a shout from Perrault, and they saw eighty or a hundred dogs around the sledge. 
The dogs came from an Indian village, and they were searching for the food that they could smell on the sledge. 
Perrault and Francois tried to fight them off with their clubs, 
but the dogs, made crazy by the smell of the food, showed their teeth and fought back.
Buck had never seen dogs like these. 
They were all skin and bone, but hunger made them fight like wild things. 
Three of them attacked Buck and in seconds his head and legs were badly bitten. 
Dave and Sol-leks stood side by side, covered in ood, fighting bravely. 
Joe and Pike jumped on one dog, and Pike broke its neck with one bite. 
Buck caught another dog by the neck and tasted ood. 
He threw himself on the next one, and then felt teeth in his own neck. It was Spitz, attacking him from the side.
Perrault and Frangois came to help with clubs, but then they had to run back to save the food. 
It was safer for the nine sledge-dogs to run away across the lake. 
Several of them were badly hurt, and they spent an unhappy night hiding among the trees.
At first light they returned to the sledge and found Perrault and Francois tired and angry. 
Half their food was gone. The Indian dogs had even eaten one of Perrault's shoes. 
Francois looked at his dogs unhappily. ‘Ah, my friends,’ he said softly, 
‘Perhaps those bites will make you ill. What do you think, Perrault?’ 
Perrault said nothing. They still had six hundred kilometres to travel, 
and he hoped very much that his sledge-dogs had not caught rabies from the Indian dogs.
The harness was torn and damaged and it was two hours before they were moving, 
travelling slowly and painfully over the most difficult country that they had been in.
The Thirty Mile River was not frozen. It ran too fast to freeze. 
They spent six days trying to find a place to cross, and every step was dangerous for dogs and men. 
Twelve times they found ice bridges across the river, and Perrault walked carefully onto them, holding a long piece of wood. 
And twelve times he fell through a bridge and was saved by the piece of wood, which caught on the sides of the hole. 
But the temperature was 45° below zero, 
and each time Perrault fell into the water, he had to light a fire to dry and warm himself. 
Once, the sledge fell through the ice, with Dave and Buck, 
and they were covered in ice by the time Perrault and Frangois pulled them out of the river. 
Again, a fire was needed to save them. 
Another time. Spitz and the dogs in front fell through the ice— Buck and Dave and Frangois at the sledge had to pull backwards. 
That day they travelled only four hundred metres.
When they got to th

2.The law of club and tooth
Buck's first day at Dyea Beach was terrible. 
Every hour there was some new, frightening surprise. 
There was no peace, no rest— only continual noise and movement. 
And every minute there was danger, because these dogs and men were not town dogs and men. 
They knew only the law of club and tooth.
Buck had never seen dogs fight like these dogs; they were like wolves. 
In a few minutes he learnt this from watching Curly. 
She tried to make friends with a dog, a big one, although not as big as she was. 
There was no warning. The dog jumped on Curly, his teeth closed together, 
then he jumped away, and Curly's face was torn open from eye to mouth.
Wolves fight like this, biting and jumping away, but the fight did not finish then. 
Thirty or forty more dogs ran up and made a circle around the fight, watching silently. 
Curly tried to attack the dog who had bitten her; he bit her a second time, and jumped away. 
When she attacked him again, he knocked her backwards, and she fell on the ground. 
She never stood up again, because this was what the other dogs were waiting for. 
They moved in, and in a moment she was under a crowd of dogs.
It was all very sudden. 
Buck saw Spitz run out from the crowd with his tongue out of his mouth, laughing. 
Then he saw Francois with an axe, and two or three other men with clubs jump in among the dogs. 
Two minutes later the last of the dogs was chased away. 
But Curly lay dead in the snow, her body torn almost to pieces. 
Curly's death often came back to Buck in his dreams. 
He understood that once a dog was down on the ground, he was dead. 
He also remembered Spitz laughing, and from that moment he hated him.
Then Buck had another surprise. Francois put a harness on him. 
Buck had seen harnesses on horses, and now he was made to work like a horse, 
pulling Francois on a sledge into the forest and returning with wood for the fire. 
Buck worked with Spitz and Dave. 
The two other dogs had worked in a harness before, and Buck learnt by watching them. 
He also learnt to stop and turn when Francois shouted.
‘Those three are very good dogs,’ Francois told Perrault. ‘That Buck pulls very well, and he's learning quickly.’ 
Perrault had important letters and official papers to take to Dawson City, 
so that afternoon he bought two more dogs, two brothers called Billee and Joe. 
Billee was very friendly, but Joe was the opposite. 
In the evening Perrault bought one more dog, an old dog with one eye. 
His name was Sol-leks, which means The Angry One. 
Like Dave, he made no friends; all he wanted was to be alone.
That night Buck discovered another problem. Where was he going to sleep? 
Francois and Perrault were in their tent, but when he went in, they shouted angrily and threw things at him. 
Outside it was very cold and windy. 
He lay down in the snow, but he was too cold to sleep.
He walked around the tents trying to find the other dogs. But, to his surprise, they had disappeared. 
He walked around Perrault's tent, very, very cold, wondering what to do. 
Suddenly, the snow under his feet fell in, and he felt something move. 
He jumped back, waiting for the attack, but heard only a friendly bark. 
There, in a warm hole under the snow, was Billee.
So that was what you had to do. 
Buck chose a place, dug himself a hole and in a minute he was warm and asleep. 
He slept well, although his dreams were bad.
When he woke up, at first he did not know where he was.
It had snowed in the night and the snow now lay thick and heavy above him. 
Suddenly he was afraid— the fear of a wild animal when it is caught and cannot escape. 
Growling, he threw himself at the snow, and a moment later, he had jumped upwards into the daylight. 
He saw the tents and remembered everything, from the time he had gone for a walk with Manuel to the moment he had dug the hole the nig

1.To the north
Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that trouble was coming for every big dog in California. 
Men had found gold in the Yukon, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work in the cold and snow of the north.
Buck lived in Mr Miller's big house in the sunny Santa Clara valley. 
There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. 
In a big place like this, of course, there were many dogs. 
There were house dogs and farm dogs, but they were not important. 
Buck was chief dog; he was born here, and this was his place. 
He was four years old and weighed sixty kilos. 
He went swimming with Mr Miller's sons, and walking with his daughters. 
He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr Miller's feet in front of the fire in winter.
But this was 1897, and Buck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to north-west Canada to look for gold. 
And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr Miller's gardeners , needed money for his large family. 
One day, when Mr Miller was out, Manuel and Buck left the garden together. 
It was just an evening walk. Buck thought. 
No one saw them go, and only one man saw them arrive at the railway station. 
This man talked to Manuel, and gave him some money. Then he tied a piece of rope around Buck's neck.
Buck growled, and was surprised when the rope was pulled hard around his neck. 
He jumped at the man. The man caught him and suddenly Buck was on his back with his tongue out of his mouth. 
For a few moments he was unable to move, and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train.
When Buck woke up, the train was still moving. 
The man was sitting and watching him, but Buck was too quick for him and he bit the man's hand hard. 
Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go.
That evening, the man took Buck to the back room of a bar in San Francisco. 
The barman looked at the man's hand and trousers covered in blood.
‘How much are they paying you for this?’ he asked.[]‘I only get fifty dollars.’
‘And the man who stole him— how much did he get?’ asked the barman.[]‘A hundred. He wouldn't take less.’
‘That makes a hundred and fifty. It’ s a good price for a dog like him. Here, help me to get him into this.’
They took off Buck’ s rope and pushed him into a wooden box. 
He spent the night in the box in the back room of the bar. 
His neck still ached with pain from the rope, and he could not understand what it all meant. 
What did they want with him, these strange men? And where was Mr Miller?
The next day Buck was carried in the box to the railway station and put on a train to the north. 
For two days and nights the train travelled north, and for two days and nights Buck neither ate nor drank. 
Men on the train laughed at him and pushed sticks at him through the holes in the box. 
For two days and nights Buck got angrier and hungrier and thirstier. 
His eyes grew red and he bit anything that moved.
In Seattle four men took Buck to a small, high-walled back garden, where a fat man in an old red coat was waiting. 
Buck was now very angry indeed and he jumped and bit at the sides of his box. 
The fat man smiled and went to get an axe and a club.
‘Are you going to take him out now?’ asked one of the men.
‘Of course,’ answered the fat man, and he began to break the box with his axe.
Immediately the four other men climbed up onto the wall to watch from a safe place.
As the fat man hit the box with his axe. Buck jumped at the sides, growling and biting, pulling with his teeth at the pieces of broken wood. 
After a few minutes there was a hole big enough for Buck to get out.
‘Now, come here, red eyes,’ said the fat man, dropping his axe and taking the club in his right hand.
Buck jumped at the man, sixty kilos of anger, his mouth wide open ready to bite the man's neck. 
Just before h
