Essay:
Love and affection are among the beautiful emotions that need to be nurtured and cherished. These beautiful sentiments are not only exchanged among humans but also among humans and every other living being. Bac, the dog in Jack London's Call of the Wild, exemplifies these high human values. The excerpt shines like a sweet melody enlightening the soul of every reader about compassion.
Bac was a dog kidnapped and taken to the Arctic to work for gold diggers. Bac endured living with cruel and ruthless owners who only cared for Bac for their own benefit. Upon meeting Thooc-ton, he treated Bac like a family, like an intimate friend. Thooc-ton saved Bac's life and became its ideal owner. He used affectionate gestures, friendly words, joyful conversations with Bac. It was these sincere and simple emotions that touched Bac's soul. Thooc-ton showered Bac with intense affection, always making Bac feel happy, cared for, and looked after. This made Bac joyful, seeing him as a true kindred spirit.
Perhaps that's why Bac reserved for Thooc-ton the deepest feelings he had never bestowed upon anyone else. It understood all the loving gestures Thooc-ton directed towards it. Bac had never felt such an overflowing, passionate love before. Bac used tender gestures, a heart full of gratitude, and absolute trust for Thooc-ton. It often playfully bit Thooc-ton's hand, pressing its teeth into his flesh, leaving deep marks. Bac also often lay at Thooc-ton's feet for hours, eagerly awake, looking up at him. It feared that Thooc-ton would disappear from its life, so it never left him even in dreams. It feared the change of owners since arriving in the Northern lands had sparked the fear in its heart that there would be no owner to bond with for long. The worrying mood for the beloved owner, the sentiment very human towards its master.
