I've always wanted to read this book. I don't know why, but it seems to do with unrestricted freedom in nature. The book is just like what I imagined. I pulled the sled when Buck did. I ran fast when Buck did. I felt free and thrilled when Buck was running through the wind and howling with his nose pointing in the sky. Living in the wild is far from being comfortable, but life gets more exciting when something adventurous brings in.
A domesticated dog named Buck lived a comfortable, langorous life in California. But he was stolen/sold to serve as a sled dog in the Yukon. Strong sled dogs were in high demand because of the 19th century Klondike Gold Rush. Buck struggled to adjust and survive the cruel treatment he received from humans, other dogs, and nature. He was so smart that he soon became the lead dog. A kind man rescued Buck from his ill-natured owner's harshness and he was faithful to the man until the man was killed by greedy gold diggers. Now Buck responded to his primordial instincts. He ran at the head of the wolf pack through the moonlight as a respected and feared leader in the wild.
