From Francois's actions, we can infer that Francois is concerned about the dogs that work for him. He goes to the trouble of bringing Buck his ration of fish and takes the time to rub Buck's feet each night, indicating that he cares for Buck's well-being and comfort. Additionally, sacrificing his own moccasins to make shoes for Buck further demonstrates his concern and dedication to the dog's welfare. There is no evidence in the text to support the idea that Francois wants to keep the sled dogs as pets or that he used to work as a shoemaker.
Hungry as he was, he would not move to receive his ration of fish, which Francois had to bring to him. Also, the dog-driver rubbed Buck's feet for half an hour each night after supper, and sacrificed the tops of his own moccasins to make four moccasins for Buck.
