Buck learns many lessons including what is worth fighting for and what is not. He learned that lesson in many ways.<BR/> For example, one day Buck’s food was stolen. Naturally, Buck fought the dog because he wanted his food back. What Buck did was right and what any animal would do. From this fight Buck learned that dogs that live in the Yukon are always hungry and that he should always protect what is his.<BR/> Buck was always a good-natured dog and would never want to harm another creature. One day, Buck and his team were kidnapped by a small group of prospectors. The humans were trying to get across a thin sheet of ice, but Buck was refusing to lead his team to the death. As Buck stood his ground he showed that he had learned times to fight physically, and times for passive resistance. <BR/> Buck learned many lessons from his working life. Most taught him what was worth fighting for and what was not worth fighting for. Buck fought for survival while others would fight for ridiculous reasons. These lessons made the life Buck lived an exciting, purposeful one, which would be continued to be known of years after his death.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20739392.post-78403295812042062932007-04-16T10:35:00.000-07:002007-04-16T10:35:00.000-07:00Since it's National Library Week, it's also the pe...Since it's National Library Week, it's also the perfect opportunity to recognize and appreciate all the wonderful people who make our libraries such great resources.
