A caged Buck arrives and is promptly auctioned off as a sled dog. He makes an immediate impression on young Miles, who bids on Buck. However, Buck is purchased by The Swede, who uses Buck on a sled team delivering mail throughout the Yukon. As Buck heads out on the trail with The Swede's team, he makes an enemy of Spitz, the team's lead dog. After several incidents on the trail, including severe weather, wolf attacks, and a fight with Spitz, Buck as the much reduced team's new lead dog, is able to bring the Swede to safety. The Swede is grateful to Buck, who has saved his life, but must sell Buck in order to buy a new sled team. While Buck is on the trail with the Swede's team, Miles chafes under his fathers direction back in Forty Mile. Miles longs to prove himself as a guide, and offers to guide some prospectors, but backs out after they show irrational behavior. We meet Emma, a capable teenager similar in age to Miles, who helps run her fathers hotel. Both Emma and Miles' mother, Adoley Thornton want to support Miles in his quest to prove himself as a guide. Miles has several run-ins with his step-dad John Thornton, who wants a different future for Miles. A fatigued Buck is bought at auction by brother and sister, Hal and Mercedes, who want to use Buck on a team to help them travel the Yukon and Alaska. Miles, encouraged by his mother and Emma, offers to guide them. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Call of the Wild (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
