I would say that the ending of the book best demonstrates
Buck's human qualities.  These can be demonstrated throughout the book, but somehow, I
just find the ending to be the most meaningful as proving that Buck possesses human
characteristics and traits.  While he has been burned significantly by humans and their
moments of unspeakable cruelty, Buck demonstrates love and care for Thornton.  This is
highly human in that Buck does not allow his past experiences color how he loves and
feels emotions for another.  When Thornton is killed, it is the final straw and reflects
a tendency of human beings to act when a point of no return has been reached.  In
visiting Thornton's grave each year, Buck demonstrates a trait of loyalty, a human trait
that is not as evident as it should be in human beings.
