The point of view established in this paragraph is Third-person limited. This is evident because the narrative describes the experiences and feelings of a character (Buck) from an outside perspective while closely aligning with his internal thoughts and emotions. It does not provide the thoughts of other characters, which is characteristic of a limited point of view.
Call of the Wild
by Jack London
The call still sounding in the depths of the forest . . . filled him with a great unrest and strange desires. It caused him to feel a vague, sweet gladness, and he was aware of wild yearnings and stirrings for he knew not what. Sometimes he pursued the call into the forest, looking for it as though it were a tangible thing, barking softly or defiantly, as the mood might dictate. He would thrust his nose into the cool wood moss, or into the black soil where long grasses grew, and snort with joy at the fat earth smells; or he would crouch for hours, as if in concealment, behind fungus-covered trunks of fallen trees, wide-eyed and wide-eared to all that moved and sounded about him.
