One day, Manuel, the Judge39。s gardener39。s keeping him, much to Hal39。 it is primitive rather than civilized, and so it remains strong even as Buck leaves the civilized world behind. The qualities of Buck Experience is badly required in an unfamiliar and tough circumstance. Those who are experienced will always have the priority over the inexperienced. Buck’s experience is accumulated gradually after being sold to the north. As soon as Buck is kidnapped from Judge Miller39。 and in all his life he never fot it.

Therefore, this is probably the best result for Buck, to live a life that truly belongs to him.
