- Francois and Perrault rejoice that Spitz is dead, after all, it's one less mouth to feed. Buck will not let them put him back in his old spot, because he felt that he had earned the right to take Spitz's spot. The dogs get a new sled driver. "He had earned it, and he wouldn't settle with less."
- Don't you ignore me!! Come here!!
- Once the group of tired sled dogs reached Skaguay, perhaps the most clueless and inexperienced owners, Hal, Charles, and Mercedes, bought the tired pack. They ran the dogs far too hard, and gave the dogs too much food. Eventually, karma caught up to them, and the lake caved in on the team. Buck felt an impending sense of doom, so he stayed behind on the bank with John Thorton. "A moisture came into his eyes, and, as the whipping continued, he arose and walked irresolutely up and down."
- 2,500 more miles to go lol good luck
- John Thorton took Buck in, and Buck feels burning passion for his owner for the first time in his life. John bet that Buck could pull 1,000 pounds. To everyone's surprise, Buck pulled the load for him, and John used the prize money to pay off debts. "Love, genuine passionate love, was his for the first time."
- Chapter 7: "The Sounding of the Call" Tone: Dark
- Buck meets a 'wild brother' in the woods. He wished to run away with the wolf, but his love for John kept him home. Buck returned from hunting, and found that Indians had attacked the camp. Everyone in the camp was killed. Buck was enraged and hunted the Indians down; he killed them. Buck became crazy and was known by the Indians as the 'Ghost Dog'. "And it was because of his great love for John Thornton that he lost his head."
