Read the excerpt from The Call of the Wild.
They were simply so many bags of bones in which sparks of life fluttered faintly. When a halt was made, they dropped down in the traces like dead dogs, and the spark dimmed and paled and seemed to go out. And when the club or whip fell upon them, the spark fluttered feebly up, and they tottered to their feet and staggered on.
The descriptive language in this excerpt help readers to visualize
how determined the dogs are
how exhausted the dogs are
how devoted the dogs are
how confused the dogs are
