"Thus, as token of what a puppet thing life is, the ancient song surged through him and he came into his own again."
Well I believe that this quote has a lot to do with how Buck feels as though he is being a puppet. Before he had gotten kid napped he was living his life very freely. He got to go outside and do whatever he wanted outside or he got to stay inside if he wished and do whatever he pleases there. But now that he is kidnapped he is having to do things that he doesnt want to do. Things that he has never experienced before. He is being treated as if he is a puppet. But as time goes by he starts to learn and he trys to better himself and it seems as though now he wants to be doing all of these things. Even though he prefer to be at home he is trying to get some good out of a bad situation. He is learning how to steal food from the humans and covers it up very well. He has made himself very strong so he can pull the sled. He has truly learned a lot being in the wild. Now he looks forward to getting up in the monring and doing all of his tasks so he can show of to the other dogs and to the humans and to himself.
In a way this quote can relate to everybody because us as children growing up we were puppet to our parents. We had to do everything that they told us and obeyed them even though at times we didnt want to. But in the end it was for our own good and they did it because they loved us.

I agree with your puppet deal as well. But i'm trying to figure out if london was talking about puppet as in being controlled.
Yes i agree with buck being a puppet and also having it relate to us as children. Having that feeling of being controlled as we grow where as buck had none. And then all of sudden sudden he is being pushed around and controlled in his actions.
if puppet does not refer to some idea of being controlled, then what could it refer to?
could Buck be controlled by just any outside force, or would it have to come from humans? Could it just be that he is being controlled by the situation he is in?
