Buck needed to stay alert in order to stave off danger. The other dogs, particularly Spitz, were a constant danger to Buck.

There was imperative need to be constantly alert; for these dogs and men were not town dogs and men. They were savages, all of them, who knew no law but the law of club and fang.
