That Spot by Jack London (excerpt)
We started for the Klondike in the fall rush of 1897, and we started too late to get over Chilcoot Pass before the freeze-up. We packed our outfit on our backs part way over, when the snow began to fly, and then we had to buy dogs in order to sled it the rest of the way. That was how we came to get that Spot. Dogs were high, and we paid one hundred and ten dollars for him. He looked worth it. I say looked, because he was one of the finest-appearing dogs I ever saw. He weighed sixty pounds, and he had all the lines of a good sled animal. We never could make out his breed. He wasn't husky, nor Malemute, nor Hudson Bay; he looked like all of them and he didn't look like any of them; and on top of it all he had some of the white man's dog in him, for on one side, in the thick of the mixed yellow-brown-red-and-dirty-white that was his prevailing color, there was a spot of coal-black as big as a water-bucket. That was why we called him Spot.
Which two details in That Spot by Jack London best support the idea that Spot was unique beyond just his black spot?
1.“He looked worth it”
2. “He weighed sixty pounds”
3.“He looked like all of them and he didn't look like any of them”
4.“He had some of the white man's dog in him”
5.“He was one of the finest-appearing dogs I ever saw”
