The story is trying to depict a dog's point of view and the author was telling us that they aren't too different from humans. During Buck's days with Judge Miller, he was actually treated like a royal king rather than just a dog respected by his neighbors: "One hundred and forty pounds, to which was added the dignity that comes of good living and universal respect, enabled him to carry himself in right royal fashion."
