The first point I have is at the start of the movie there was no dog fight rather than the book which did include this point. This was crucial in the movie because with this point it would have shown Billy's love and compassion about dogs from the start (pg # 1 - 4). Billy says, “ Come on, boy, let's go home and get something to eat.” (Wilson Rawls pg # 3)
And as the "sidekick" the dog stays in the back and follows until the man needs him. When the man does need him he uses him as a "test" for the ground ahead, which makes sure that if the ground is weak the dog will get its feet wet and frozen, but not the man. There are many instances in the passage that give evidence for my statements, but here's some that really bring out what I am trying to say, "He noticed the changes in the creek, the curves and the bends. And always he noted where he placed his feet. ... Once, sensing danger, he made the dog go ahead.
The next morning, the family leaves for the camp on a train. The boy mentions a memory of White Dog after they had to leave him at home. His memory is a flashback, “[...] when White Dog was still a noisy white dog that would bark at anything no matter how big it was”(Otsuka 44).

He asks his grandpa to order them and weeks of waiting the note comes in to tell them where they are. Billy couldn't wait a few more days to get them, so he goes out6 by himself to get them after that he trains the dogs every day for the contest.
White Fang may be three-quarters dog, but the wolf within him never fails to override his domestic side. Living with humans as though he were a regular dog, “The Wild still lingered in him and the wolf in him merely slept,” (London). Although treated like a dog, living the life of dog, White Fang could never be considered fully domestic. The wild within him would not permit it, and as he attempted at domiciliary “He could not immediately forego his wild heritage and his memories of the Wild. There were days when he crept to the edge of the forest and stood and listened to something calling him far and away,” (London).
Although the dogs posed challenges, the outcome of the dog situation is what the family needs. Skeet and Randall are having a conversation about China and her puppies. They talk about how much money they can make off of selling the puppies and how Skeetah plans on spending it. Skeet goes on to say, “If my dogs live, I can make eight hundred dollars off them.” For this family, eight hundred dollars is huge.

James Cash said, “ responsibilities are given to him on whom trust rest. Responsibility is always a sign of trust”. White Man's dog had the responsibility to lead this raid and he is prepared to do anything to make him look good and gain trust from his partners, family, and camp. Lastly, the transformation of White Man's dog was because others began to trust him and he became a brave and was looked upon with good medicine .

Have you ever wanted something so badly you couldn't sleep or even eat? We all agree that Billy had is serious case of puppy love. Some say he should have sent away for the dogs, others say he should not have sent away for the dogs. Billy should have sent away for the dogs for three reasons: he was ready, the dogs were perfect, and he gained virtues.
The dead dog became the major symbol of house’s alienation. The system let the injured and exhausted animal in, but did not do anything to try to improve its condition. It returned to habitual schedule that was a more important link to the past than the family’s pet. “The dog frothed at the mouth, lying at the door, sniffing, its eyes turned to fire. It ran wildly in circles, biting at its tail, spun in a frenzy, and died” (Bradbury 2).
I disliked the book because is was too gory. It told us every little thing that had happened to the dog and why they were killed with an axe or a colt revolver. The book also had that the dogs were being beaten. The book also didn’t have a good story it was just buck pulling a sled for like 800 miles which I think cruel to do to an animal. It also had the death of every dog that buck had to pull the sled with.
