White Fang refused to submit to anyone other than Grey Beaver. Whenh his mother was sold, and he tried to follow, he was beaten. The other dogs hate him because he is meant and determined to become the leader, the alpha dog. In Part III, after Kiche is sold and no longer able to protect White Fang, Lip-Lip sees the opportunity to increase his persecution. With the other camp dogs on his side, Lip-Lip makes life for White Fang living hell. But White Fang is brighter than most other dogs and quickly learns two important lessons: "how to take care of himself in a mass-fight against him; and how, on a single dog, to inflict the greatest amount of damage in the briefest space of time." As White Fang becomes more savage, he becomes more and more alienated from his own kind as well as man. He learned another lesson, to obey the strong and to oppress the weak. He continued to learn the lesson of the survival of the fittest.
