Buck, a dog, went on a journey. The Hero’s Journey. The Hero’s Journey is a set of steps in a narrative to complete a challenge. The hero, in this case Buck, went through countless challenges in his lifetime, and lost many, many owners. Buck had conquered the wilderness, but had lost his innocence along the way.
His first kill was troublesome, A horrible way to be the head of a pack. The cold hush winter of the Yukon terrain, had both Spitz and Buck crying out in pain.

Being forced to kill an animal three times your size and ten times your weight is terrifying. It makes it harder to kill after journeying the Alaskan Yukon for four days.
