No, it would be paradoxical in a survival in the wild tale! Buck- the lead canine character is taken into the custody of an Indian Tribe called, if I remember correctly, the Yeehats, so in a sense he does not lose all his human ties. The transfer is referred to in the archaic style of l904(one has to remember Call was written over a hundred years ago, long before ,say Marvel Comics.) he was said to be spirited away by the tribe- this does not refer to supernatural life after death, or teleportation, as may readers unfamiiar with this odd usage- now we would say transported or conveyed. assumed.
