 Context examples 

Skeet was a little Irish setter who early made friends with Buck, who, in a dying condition, was unable to resent her first advances.

(The Call of the Wild, by Jack London)

Skeet and Nig were too good-natured for quarrelling,—besides, they belonged to John Thornton; but the strange dog, no matter what the breed or valor, swiftly acknowledged Buck’s supremacy or found himself struggling for life with a terrible antagonist.

(The Call of the Wild, by Jack London)
