During the Klondike Gold Rush, a dog, Buck was kidnapped and sold into service as a sled dog in Alaska. This is his story as he emerges from domestic into the primitive animal state he is forced to obtain for survival in a harsh climate and finally becomes a leader in the wild. Recommended by The Gunston Trust, this classic tale by Jack London provides insight into animal nature in the wild. Some violence makes this classic story unsuitable for the very young.
