Buck, an oversized dog, grows up with the pain of loss and the joy of possession. From pet to sled dog to adventurer, he finally followed the call of the wild and entered the forest. He has a free and independent dog life. .
In his childhood, if compared to a human being, Buck could be said to be a high-class dog raised in a noble manor in the south. At most, his master, Judge Miller, punished him for sleeping outside the door for one night. So just like many spoiled children, even though the old lawyer scolded it many times to ask it to be obedient, it would not listen. It's not that the education is not in place, it's just that the means of punishment are too mild. Buck's life is undoubtedly very happy, with a rich life and a gentle owner. But the direction of life will always take a small turn when you are caught off guard and turn your life upside down. After another accident, Buck was locked out by the lawyer's owner. In the dark night, a dog dealer who met Buck during the day deliberately kidnapped Buck. Buck also met his second owner, or employer, a postman, and Buck became Mr. Postman's sled dog. Just like us who left a warm family and entered the workplace to survive. There are no friends who share the joy with you, there are a group of rivals who compete with you; there are no family members who dote on you, and there are bosses who only look at your ability to work. Buck was a well-deserved and inexperienced "newcomer" when he first entered the "workplace". He met the manager of the sled dog department who didn't like him, and he didn't like him. If you have also encountered these problems, then take a look at how the dog Buck solves these problems. He didn't pay too much attention to the department managers who looked at him unpleasantly. On the contrary, he treated his colleagues who were as oppressed as himself, worked hard to improve his work ability as a sled dog, and used his mind flexibly to learn and adapt to the job. So how did Buck gain the appreciation of "The Boss's Wife"?
It was at a critical juncture that he jumped into the ice cave without hesitation to save the lady boss in the deep water under the ice. And it nearly cost him his life. As for the department manager who didn't like him, he succeeded in killing him when he wanted to kill him. He succeeded in becoming the leader of the sled team. Buck has since become an ideal dog, gaining new partners and goals in the job. But Buck's life turned upside down again, as the job was outlawed by modern technology - the telegraph, and Buck and his buddies were out of a job. Buck and his companions were sold to an arrogant, rude nobleman who had a very bad attitude towards the sled dogs, during a trip because Buck, as the lead dog, sensed danger (for the later nobles to kill Buck and bury him). Foreshadowing) reluctance to move forward, angered the noble man and was almost killed, so Buck met the last master in his life journey - old man John Thornton.
In order to complete the unfinished adventure of his son, Thornton took Buck on an unknown journey. After discovering a river with gold, Thornton and Buck temporarily lived in a wooden house by the river, and they searched the river every day. New buried gold. I remember a very impressive plot is that because Buck was domesticated by humans, he inadvertently stretched out his hand like a pet to please his master. When he made this move in front of Thornton, Thornton said something like "You're not my dog" or something like this, which made me understand that Thornton didn't see Buck as his pet but as a companion. So in the end, although Thornton was very reluctant, he still let Buck go to find the life he wanted. At the end of the story, Thornton was killed by the nobles, and Buck avenged Thornton. Buck lived in the woods with his wife and had children of his own, but he stopped and stared every time he passed by Thornton's Burial Ground.
Our life is almost like this. We leave our parents who protect us, experience the tempering of society, have like-minded partners, and finally choose someone to die and grow old in time.
