In one of the book chapters, Buck and his group had to deal with extreme conditions and wrong caring. Even though some of his mates couldn´t do it, Buck was yet the strongest dog who wouldn´t give up. Buck was weak, really tired and the way the author describes it, almost dying. After many days, Buck and his mates would keep pulling a heavy slide without resting nor eating. The reason they didn't eat was because there was few food for such a big amount of dogs. The owners of course had no experience with dogs, so the poor dogs were mistreated without thye owners actually releasing it. One day, Buck just couldn´t do it anymore and fell down in exhaustion. One of the owners started to hit him for him to get up, but Buck couldn't. Buck was dying and he knew it, he wasn´t even able to feel the hitting of the club. Suddenly a man appeared and stood up for Buck. He defended him and stopped the owner from hitting him once more. That's when Buck realized that this could mean the starting of a new loving relationship with a human.
