This proves that Buck had so much confidence and determination that he didn’t even hesitate to jump into a roaring lake and risk his life to save his owner, John Thornton. As London states, “Buck stood and looked on, the successful champion, the dominant primordial beast who had made his kill and found it good” (40).
