Photographs: American History 
The Huntington Library claims London inscribed the note “This is Buck” on this photograph of the Klondike cabin where Marshall and Louis Bond (pictured) lived with their dog Jack. Buck was the half St. Bernard, half sheepdog who was stolen from a California estate and sold as a sled dog in the Arctic. In London’s The Call of the Wild, he evolved into a fierce animal torn between his loyalty to his master and his desire to reconnect with the wild.
