Despite his initial struggles, Buck quickly adapts to the harsh environment and earns the respect and admiration of his team. Throughout the film, Buck forms strong bonds with the humans and animals he meets along the way, both in the wild and in the nearby settlements.
As he struggles to survive in the unforgiving wilderness, Buck encounters danger and adventure at every turn, including wild animals, treacherous terrain, and unpredictable weather conditions. He is also the witness to the cruelty of some of the humans he encounters, including his primary owner, Hal, who mistreats both Buck and his team.
Through his experiences, Buck ultimately discovers and embraces his true nature as a wild animal. He becomes the leader of a pack of wolves and lives a fulfilling life in the wild.
