Who or what started the final battle between Spitz and Buck?

• Perrault

• A rabbit

• a husky

• Francois

When Spitz and Buck square off, "the scene came back to Buck with sense of familiarity...this scene of old time, the wonted way of things." What does London mean here?

• This is exactly how the two dogs squared off last time.

• In Buck's memory, there are traces of the primitive dog he came from.

• Buck's been picked on before and remembers how to take care of business

• This is just a normal, average day for both dogs
