I am reading the book NIGHT written by Elie Wiesel. Here is a sentence I don't understand: He looked at us as one would a pack of leprous dogs clinging to life.
Does the "would" here is equivalent to "have" like "have sb doing sth"?

It means:
He looked at us as one would look at a pack of leprous dogs.
The verb look was omitted in the second part of the sentence.
