Buck

The protagonist of our story, Buck is part St. Bernard, part Scotch shepherd. At the beginning of the story, Buck is a domesticated, but atypical dog who lives in the home of Judge Miller in California. After being kidnapped and taken to Alaska to become a sled-dog, Buck's wild nature is reawakened, and he slowly returns to the ways of his ancestors.

Toots

Japanese pug.

Shep

Scotch Shepherd dog, mother of Buck

Elmo

Buck father, he huge and live in St. Bernard.

Spitz

An experienced and clever Husky, Spitz is the original lead dog of Buck's dogsled team. He fears and hates Buck, whom he sees as a rival. He is eventually killed by Buck in a fight for leadership.

Curly

A sweet Newfoundland dog, one of Buck's first companions after he has been kidnapped. She is unexpected killed for trying to make friendly advances toward another dog.

Dave

Another one of Buck's first companions, he is one of the most knowledgeable dogs on the team. Mostly aloof, new life springs into him the moment he is placed in a harness. Not only does he help teach Buck the procedures, he also embodies pride in his work.

Sol-leks

Another member of the team. Like Dave, he is aloof until attached to a sled. At first only wary of being approached on his blind-side, poor treatment makes Sol-Leks more and more unfriendly.

Ysabel

Mexican hairless.

Billie

Another member of the team. He is good-natured and sweet, and he shows Buck how to make a bed in the snow. He is killed by Hal.

Joe

Another member of the team, Billie's brother. Unlike Billie, Joe is always snarling and defensive.

Teek A faithful husky sled dog, acquired with Koona by Francois and Perrault. Buck quickly trains Teek how to pull the sled.

Koona: Added to the team along with Teek, Koona is also a faithful husky, quickly trained by Buck.

Pike

Another member of the team, often referred to as "the malingerer." He rarely gets up on time, and he will steal food and generally undermine the expedition. When Buck becomes leader, he forces Pike to shape up and become a helpful member of the team.

Dub

Another member of the team. He is an awkward blunderer who gets blamed for Buck's thievery.

Dolly

Another member of the team, Dolly goes mad after being bitten by wild huskies, tries to attack Buck, and is killed by Francois.

Skeet

A motherly Irish setter who belongs to John Thornton. She nurses Buck through his recovery and engages him in play.

Nig

A huge black dog who belongs to John Thornton. He has laughing eyes and a good nature.

Lone wolf

The "wild brother" that Buck meets in the forest. He understands Buck's wild nature.

Judge Miller

Buck's original owner. He is presumably a sedate and prosperous man with a large family.

Mollie

Judge Miller daughter.

Alice

Judge Miller daughter.

Manuel

The gardener's helper on Judge Miller's estate. He kidnaps and sells Buck to fund his gambling habit.

Red sweater

Also known as the man with the club. He metes out discipline to all dogs that will be sold for sledding. Ruthless in his repeated beatings of unruly creatures such as Buck, he maintains composure and control. He does not beat out of cruelty, it seems. Rather, he looks to teach these dogs the lessons that will allow them to survive in this harsh environment. Buck never forgets the law of the club.

Francois

A Canadian Frenchman, the original dogsled driver. He is knowledgeable and understanding of his dogs, but still very strict.

Perrault

Francois's superior and an agent of the Canadian government. He is admired by Buck for his fearlessness in blazing their trail, disregarding the threat of ice that might break.

Scotch half-breed: A sled driver who takes charge of the team after Francois and Perrault's departure. The Scotch half-breed treats the dogs fairly as they pull mail back and forth to Dawson City, although the heavier loads prove to be an increasing pain for the dogs.

Hal

A young man of nineteen or twenty who purchases Buck and his team once they have used up their usefulness to the government. He has ambitions to find gold, but his incompetence and laziness are out of place in the harsh environment. He has no understanding of the dogs, and mistreats them terribly.

Charles

Hal's brother-in-law, a weak figure who does not say much. He basically follows Hal around and does what he is told.

Mercedes

Sister of Hal, wife of Charles. She is exceedingly self-centered, and spends most of her time crying and complaining.

John Thornton

The man who rescues Buck from Hal's cruelty. He is by far the most admirable human character in the story, kind but full of the uncompromising strength that is necessary to survive on the trail. John is the ideal master because his nature is so dog-like.

Pete

One of John Thornton's partners. Who got killed by some Red skin guys.

Hans

One of John Thornton's partners. Who got killed by some Red skin guys.

"Black" Burton

A notorious troublemaker, he picks a fight in a bar and John Thornton steps in.

Matthewson

The man who bets John that Buck cannot pull a ton of weight.

Jim O'Brien

The man who loans John the money to make the bet against Matthewson.

Yeehats

The group of Valley Indians that raids the camp of John Thornton and his companions and kills them. They are terrorized when Buck returns and kills most of them. From then on they speak of a dog inhabited by the devil that roams the forest.

Saloon-keeper

He is the guy that bought Buck, and brought Buck inside the train. He bigger than Buck so he manage to get Buck go inside the cage.

Buck - A powerful dog, half St. Bernard and half sheepdog

John Thornton - Buck's final master, a gold hunter

Spitz - Buck's archrival and the original leader of Francois's dog team. Spitz is a fierce animal-a "devil-dog,"

Francois - A French Canadian mail driver who buys Buck and adds him to his team.

Perrault - A French Canadian who, together with Francois, turns Buck into a sled dog for the Canadian government.

Hal - An American gold seeker, Hal comes to Canada with his sister, Mercedes, and her husband, Charles, in search of adventure and riches. The three buy Buck and his team and try to drive them, but their inexperience makes them terrible masters, as they run out of food during the journey and bicker among themselves.

Mercedes - Charles's wife and Hal's sister.

Charles - Hal's brother-in-law and Mercedes' husband.

Dave - A dog on Buck's team. Dave becomes ill on one of the team's journeys but refuses to leave the harness, preferring to die pulling the sled. In his stubbornness at this task, Dave is an example of gritty determination.Sol-leks- An older, more experienced dog on Buck's team.

Curly - A friend of Buck's, met on the journey to the North. Curly's death, when she naively tries to be friendly to a husky, acts as a warning to Buck of the harshness and cruelty of his new home.

Judge Miller - Buck's original master, the owner of a large estate in California's Santa Clara Valley.

Manuel - A gardener's helper on Judge Miller's estate. Manuel kidnaps Buck and sells him in order to pay off his gambling debts.
