That he was ready to be friendly or fight. But when the wolf saw Buck he ran away at once. Buck followed,jumping wildly, wanting to stay with him. He followed him along a river bed until they came to a place where trees had fallen,and the wolf was trapped. He turned around, biting and growling, but Buck did not fight. He moved around the wolf in circles, making friendly moves toward him. The wolf was afraid, and ran away once more. But Buck followed him again again, moving around him each time until he was trapped.
