A little about the story
Stolen from a comfortable home, Buck is taken north and forced to learn the work and dangers of a sled dog.
Buck learns the habits of people and other dogs while discovering capacities his earlier life gave him no occasion to use. London keeps the story close to his perceptions as the conditions of work and survival change around him.
