Does writing pay, Jack?
"I came out of the Klondike broke, found that my father had died and left some debts. I  have paid up everything and am supporting three families.
The first year I never got a thing accepted, and I began to get morbid and believe that I got turned down because I was a socialist. I now wonder how the first stuff that was finally accepted ever got by. But it is hard work. He who waits for the muse to move him will never get anywhere. I write five thousand words a day to discipline and command myself. Much of it has to be torn up, but I make myself write it."
--Jack London

The two dogs we took into the Klondike with us were fine specimens. One of them
  in particular had characteristics of such fine excellence as to be called character.
  He had a courage that, though unagressive, was unyielding; a kindness and good
  nature that the most urbane man in the world might have observed with profit, and
  a willngness to do his work, and an untiring energy in carrying it out. I have had too
  much loyalty and affection from dogs to doubt that they have souls if men have
  them. London liked these dogs, and particularly this one which I called Jack. His
  manner of dealing with dogs was different from anyone I knew, and I remarked it at
  the time with interest. Most people, including myself, pat caress, and talk in more or
  less affectionate terms to a dog. London did none of this. He always spoke and
  acted towards the dog as if he recognized its noble qualities, respected them, but
  took them as a matter of course. It always seemed to me that he gave more to the
  dog than we did, for he gave understanding. He had an appreciative and instant eye
  and he honored them in a dog as he would in a man.

How is Jack London's attitude toward dogs reflected in CoW?
