Book Review: What Buck brought me to think about

I have been fond of small animals since I was a child, including a kitten, a puppy, a newly hatched chick, a duck, and a gosling. They have cuddly and cute eyes. Although they cannot see very far, they are still dazed. In the helpless weakness, the innocence is particularly lovable.

? When I was a child, I had a little spotted dog. The longer it grew, the taller it became. Its upright ears were very sensitive. , it was all strong points, and was later sent to a relative's home more than 200 miles away. More than 20 days later, it dragged an iron chain and grabbed the ridge all the way to find its direction, and returned to its hometown. The body was thin and full of scratches. I still remember the moment when I held its neck and smiled bitterly. I was extremely sad and cried, determined not to send it away again. I have a deep understanding of the dog's loyalty and intelligence, its super memory, and its sense of direction. Later, I heard from my family that there used to be wolves roaming in the mountains of my hometown. Wolves and dogs have the same ancestor, but they have changed their minds when talking about wolves. On the way to and from school, if I am alone, I will always feel uneasy, look left and right, and be alarmed to hear people coming from all directions. Various sounds, although I have never encountered them.

?

Later when I was studying, I got to know the wolves in many literary works. My heart went from fear to longing to touch real wolves. Courage". Then let’s talk about wolves on paper! Jack London's Buck fell in love with me again.

For a dog living in the warm and suitable south, the difficulty of adapting can be imagined, but Buck did it. He quickly integrated into the group and grew up quickly. All of this has to be admired and felt. to the importance of learning ability.

? Buck is an observant dog. It is full of curiosity about all new things. Learn by observing. After being caught and imprisoned in a cage, he was released. He was angry and resisted. When the ruthless stick came, he found that resistance was useless and would only receive more vicious stick blows.

It is better to replenish physical strength and eat well in the environment; when it found that it could not rest in the owner's tent and had to find a nest in the snow, it observed its companions and understood that by digging a snow hole in a leeward place, it could withstand the severe cold.

? It has learned how to adapt to the environment and adapt to this strange world. The rules of survival are perfectly interpreted by him.
