Jacob, however has a weak heart and must leave his companions when he realizes the difficulty during the marches in the mountains near the Canadian border to the Klondyke is too strenuous for him. Jack, stays with Fred Thompson, Jim Goodman and Merritt Sloper, along with the extravagant cook and cobbler old Matt Gustavson. Some men, who already owned Buck, a wolfdog is adopted by the group. As the months pass and the coming of the approaching winter, the expedition must stop in a small village where Buck has a way of making raids and causes great damage.
