London embarks on Buck's adventure at the home of Judge Miller, a kind owner who gives Buck a life of lazy days in the "sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley" (197). Manuel, a gardener’s helper from the home of the Millers, rips Buck out his safe life. He was sold to a man in a red sweater who struck him with a club repeatedly. Then, two men named Francois and Perrault bought him. They gave Buck his first experience with sled pulling, which he continued to experience throughout the book. The next owner of Buck was a man who drove him and his other teammates from tired to exhausted. Hal, Charles, and Mercedes, who had no experience with driving dogs, were Buck's second to last owners.

London expresses that his savage blood trickles, and then explodes into rage as he kills the Yeehats (a tribe that murdered Thornton).

The sentimental aspect of the book comes out in the last two pages when London tells the reader that no one enters the valley where the Yeehats were killed. Every summer, like the one when Thornton was murdered, a Ghost Dog with distinctive markings comes to the ground "and here he muses for a time, howling once, long and mournfully, ere he departs".

London teaches many lessons about the wild to Buck. London's first lesson is that of obedience. Buck lear
