Buck demonstrates this love when he saves John Thornton from “Black” Burton, when he “earned sixteen hundred dollars in five minutes fro John Thornton” (London, 95), and when he saved Thornton from drowning in the “bad stretch of rapids on the Forty Mile…

movie. Some more differences are that in the book the Indian doesn’t want to build a cabin, like he does in the movie. In the movie, when Spitz dies, they automatically put Buck in Spitz’s place, but in the book the owners hesitate.
