That Spot
by Jack London (excerpt)
We started for the Klondike in the fall rush of 1897, and we
started too late to get over Chilcoot Pass before the freeze-up.
We packed our outfit on our backs part way over, when the snow
began to fly, and then we had to buy dogs in order to sled it the
rest of the way. That was how we came to get that Spot. Dogs
were high, and we paid one hundred and ten dollars for him. He
looked worth it. I say looked, because he was one of the finest-
appearing dogs I ever saw. He weighed sixty pounds, and he had
all the lines of a good sled animal. We never could make out
his
breed. He wasn't husky, nor Malemute, nor Hudson Bay; he
looked like all of them and he didn't look like any of them
;
and on
top of it all he had some of the white man's dog in him, for on one
side, in the thick of the mixed yellow-brown-red-and-dirty-white
that was his prevailing colour, there was a spot of coal-
black as
big as a water-bucket. That was why we called him Spot.
