Jack London's well-read story of Buck, a dog stolen from a life of comfort and forced into a life of slavery. The book follows Buck as he is sold to dog traders and sent to Canada, suffering from abuse along the way and hitting rock bottom as a result. Buck resolves to never allow himself to succumb to his string of brutal masters, ultimately finding a master who is worthy of his devotion. After his beloved master is killed, Buck follows his calling, into the wild, and becomes a great leader of a wolf pack.
