The relationship between humans and dogs As the dogs pull the sled with all their might through the thick winter snow, they are forced to advance through the “Law of the Club” in the fiction book The Call of the Wild by Jack London. In the novel, London describes how a pet dog, Buck, is introduced into the wild. Buck knows the dull, boring life of the Santa Clara Valley, but now he's challenged to get out into the wild. The Call of the Wild shows how codependency exists between humans and dogs, demonstrates how humans take advantage of dogs for their personal needs, and describes how short relationships between snow dogs and humans are. First, London describes how dogs and humans depend on each other to survive in the Yukon. Traveling in the Yukon is difficult when it snows, so dog and human must understand each other to survive the harsh climate. When François and Perrault's sleigh crossed the barely frozen lake of the Thirty Mile River, "they were solidly covered in ice, and the two men ran them around the fire, sweating and thawing, so close that they were scorched by fire”. flames” (p. 3). This demonstrates how much François and Perrault depend on the dogs to take them to the Yukon, while the dogs show how much they depend on the two men to take care of them. If humans don't take care of dogs, none of them will survive. An example of how dogs and humans mistreat each other is when humans fail to take care of dogs. They whip the dogs to make them run faster, but the dogs can't move because they are angry. When Hal, Charles, and Mercedes own Buck and the other dogs, Hal keeps whipping the dogs to make them run faster. He often shouts: “The lazy brutes, I will show them,” he cried, “p...... middle of paper...... have a romantic relationship; when the Yeehats attack the place where John Thornton lives: “John Thornton was dead. It made him feel a great emptiness, a bit like hunger, but an emptiness that ached and hurt…” (p. 6). It shows how Buck's favorite master dies and he lost another relationship. Buck maintains many relationships with his former owners and he learns that you will never have the same master again. The relationship between humans and dogs in Call of the Wild creates many types of bonds. According to Helen Keller, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. » Humans and dogs depend on each other to survive when traveling in the Yukon. Some humans take advantage of dogs for their own personal needs. Relationships between humans and sled dogs are short. The Call of the Wild, by Jack London, shows us how dogs and humans can maintain any type of bond for a short period of time..
