Call Of The Wild Dave

A dog and an "experienced wheeler" on the mail run sled dog team, he instructs Buck in how to be a sled canis familiaris. Dave has an unaggressive, lone, and brooding style, but his principal feature is his unwavering devotion to his work in the traces. He becomes ill on the trail to Dawson and is shot out of mercy by the Scotch half-breed.
