Call of the Wild

Why is this an apt image?

"And when the club or whip fell upon them, a spark fluttered feebly up, and they tottered to their feet and staggered on"

-In Chapter 5, Call of the Wild

Why is this an apt image? Thanks

An apt image is an mage that suits or parallels the action. Certainly the dogs being mistreated, tired and staggering on reflects how Hal, Charles and Mercedes were treating their dogs.
