What kind of master is Perrault to Buck?

The story suggests that Perrault treats his dogs fairly and impartially. He ensured that all his dogs were fed and allowed an extra portion for Buck. However, Perrault favored Spitz with regards to dominance among the dogs. He did not view Buck as a worthy challenger to the position held by Spitz as the lead dog. However, his preferences did not impact how he treated Buck or the other dogs. At one point, Perrault inspected Buck’s paws after a tough journey on the cold landscape.


Despite his shock, after Buck emerged victorious over Spitz in the death fight, Perrault accepted Buck’s position among the dogs.


Although Perrault had a favorite among the dogs, he was more focused on performing his duties, and this forced him to push all the dogs to deliver equally.
