He came between him and the shirks he should have punished. He openly threatened the other’s leadership. Likewise it was this pride that made him fear Buck as a possible lead-dog. This was the pride that bore up Spitz and made him thrash the sled-dogs who blundered and shirked in the traces or hid away at harness-up time in the morning. This was the pride of Dave as wheel-dog, of Sol-leks as he pulled with all his strength the pride that laid hold of them at break of camp, transforming them from sour and sullen brutes into straining, eager, ambitious creatures the pride that spurred them on all day and dropped them at pitch of camp at night, letting them fall back into gloomy unrest and discontent. He wanted it because it was his nature, because he had been gripped tight by that nameless, incomprehensible pride of the trail and trace-that pride which holds dogs in the toil to the last gasp, which lures them to die joyfully in the harness, and breaks their hearts if they are cut out of the harness.
