Pride.

Explanation:

Jack London's "The Call of the Wild," tells the story of a dog named Buck and his life from being a domestic dog to a sled dog working in the cold, snowy arctic areas during the Klondike Gold Rush. The given passage is about one of the sled dogs named Dave.

Dave was suffering from inside, something was wrong with him internally but which the humans were unable to determine. So, they decided to rest Dave and put Sol-leks in his place. Dave was to "run free behind the sled" but Dave refused to be replaced. He would attack his replacement, and wouldn't walk behind the sled where the path had been cleared and easier to go. Instead, he "continued to flounder alongside in the soft snow, where the going was most difficult". This shows not only his determination but also his pride in being strong and resilient.

Thus, Dave’s behavior in the passage reflects his pride.
