The protagonist in the story Call of the Wild is buck. Buck is a half ST.Bernard dog and half sheep dog. He was stolen at the begining of the story by his owners gardener and was sent to Yukon a colder are of Canada. This was a dramatic change for him because he lived in California a place with hot weather and then was sent and soled to Yukon. He was soled by the gardener because the gardener had to pay bills that he owed. Buck needed time to adapt the cold weather of Yukon but this made him stronger. He gets this instinct that he calls "Call of the Wild" This makes him almost run away from his final owner(John Thornton) but buck realizes he can not leave his caring owner. His last owner John Thornton rescued buck from his awful owners and adopted him. Although this was a huge favor from Johns side Buck did lots of things that helped John and made him lucky. Some of these things were earning money by John betting on him and helping John find a gold mine. Unfortunately Bucks well caring and loving owner dies at the end of the story because an Alaskan time shot him with arrows. By the time buck came to save him he was already dead and Buck knew this. Buck then returns to the wild and becomes another leader of another pack but this tiem not dogs, but wolves.
