Describe the first home that Buck lives in. What was his place in the family?

Buck lived a very comfertable good life on a ranch in California. He enjoys sunny weather, and is loved by his master Judge Miller. Buck seems like a favourite pet more than anything else. He is pampered and safe. The judge is extremely fond of him. Buck had a run of the homestead in California. Buck, however, did not do much of anything in the form of work (for a dog).
