Survival skill man vs. dog

"To build a fire" by Jack London it show that man and animal are vary different that man thinks he is dominant but animals have the instinct to survive. While man doesn't they learned and try to survive. Sometimes there survival skill aren’t like an animal instinct. Animals my listen to us and obey but sometimes they will stick with there instinct over the humans orders. This is what mainly sets us a part from them and in the end it could mean life or death when it comes to listening to your self or an animals instinct.
In "To build a fire" the main character is in -78 weather he wants to walk 12 miles in a blizzard to his camp to see his family. The man has a dog with him. It explains from his point of view and his dogs point of view. The dogs always thinks about just leaving and going to beery it self in the snow to keep itself warm. Still the dog stick with his master. Finally the man makes a fire he doesn't understand why it is so cold. The dog is happy it lays by the fire while the man eats and warms up. Finally the man leaves but the dog wants to stay the man yells for the dog to come and it does. After a while the man relizes that he is going to freeze to death so he tries running home. After a while of that the man fall over and goes into a endless sleep he knows that he will never see his sons again. The dog looks at them in despair. The dog leaves and goes to camp which was vary close he stay warm and a live due to a couple smarter decisions.
The man is dead and the dog is a live the man didn't think about death until it was to late. The dog always thought about. In the end the one who kept death in its mind prevailed. The man was close to home but he never made it. All because he wanted to be home before six o clock. All animals have instinct and survival skill. Some humans have learned the survival skill from animals and they are the one that survive.
