** Hal, Charles and Mercedes are more stupid than malicious, so their foolishness dooming them is still somewhat tragic. Much sadder is that it also dooms the rest of the sled dogs we've come to know, who toiled and suffered along with Buck the entire time.

He becomes smarter and more cunning and more brave and more loyal than any other dog : essentially, he has no flaws by the end of the book. After a while, you begin to wonder about the nigh-constant stream of praise both London and the other characters feed Buck. Though to be fair with London, he does gets some character development and goes through realistically brutal trials to become as incredibly {{Badass}} as he is.
