Answer:
Hey mate....... here's your answer
From the first sentence of Jack London's 1903 novel The Call of the Wild, we know there will be trouble for Buck, a dog and the book's main character. In 1897, thousands traveled to the Northland (Alaska and Canada) to the Klondike gold rush. They needed strong, tough dogs for the freezing weather.
Buck, who is part St. Bernard and part Scotch Shepard, was born at a large house in sunny California owned by Judge Miller. The book opens with the four-year-old, 140-pound Buck living with the judge, and although other dogs live there too, he is the the king and treated like a family member.
One night, when no one is around, a gardener takes Buck on a walk with a rope on his neck and sells him to a strange man. Buck growls, and he is surprised when the man tightens the rope and chokes him. This is the first time Buck has ever been treated badly. He bites the man's hand, but can't get away. Buck is put on a train to Seattle with nothing to eat or drink. He's angry about how he's being treated.
Four men take Buck to a man in a red sweater holding a club. This man teaches Buck the law of the club. As Buck tries to bite him, the man hits him with the club. This happens again and again until Buck gives up and understands that a man with a club is the boss.
Men come to this man to buy dogs, and one day a man named Perrault buys Buck for $300. He can see that Buck is special. He also buys another dog, Curly, and they all travel by boat with a man named Francois, and two other dogs. Buck sees that the men are fair.
The weather gets colder, and when the boat finally stops, Buck goes outside and steps on something white and mushy. There's more white falling from the sky, and Buck tries to lick it, but is embarrassed when others laugh at him. This is his first time seeing snow.
