Publisher's Synopsis
The classic adventure story of Buck, a proud dog who learns to survive in the harsh arctic wildnerness. Taken from the sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley to work as a sled-dog in the frozen Yukon during the gold-rush, Buck is forced to rediscover his primeval instincts. He and the other dogs are brutalized and beaten, but Buck is saved from cruelty by John Thornton, in whose care he learns how to be loved. Buck has now learnt the art of survival so that when he is free to return to the wild he is feared, respected and truly fit for leadership.
