The beast was unleashed, and the call of the wild was too strong for Buck to ignore. He had become the true killing machine. Everything he did was cause of the call of the wild. John Thornton's death was the trigger which fulfilled his calling. All animals had known and feared Buck up in the Klondike. Even the the miners and people of Dawson heard rumors of this wolf dog, whenever they heard stories about this great, voracious, and fierce wolf dog called Buck, especially to the natives; they had felt convulsive chills and would form a paleness upon their face.

Up in the indian village of the Yeehats, a boy who had just become a man through ceremony the night before prepared for battle. As he painted his face in the morning, two elders played music in his teepee around him singing, “HEE!HAW!HEE!HAW!” over and over again with drums.
