Publisher's Synopsis
After receiving rave reviews for his book The Call of the Wild in 1904, Jack London became very enthusiastic about a new idea for a book that would not be a sequel but a "companion" to The Call of the Wild. "I'm going to reverse the process," he wrote to his publisher. "Instead of the devolution of decivilization of a dog, I'm going to give the evolution, the civilization of a dog - development of domesticity, faithfulness; love morality and all the amenities and virtues. With The Call of the Wild as a "forerunner," he declared the new book should "be a hit."
