This is a heartbreakingly beautiful story of a young dog named Buck. Living a life of luxury and happiness in California as the favourite pet of a loving family, Buck has not known a moment’s pain. But all that is set to change when he is sold by a rogue servant and transported to the Far North. This cold, wild land is cruel and heartless as it is inhabited by greedy gold prospectors, savage wolves and even more savage Indians. It is here that Buck is made a sled dog and subjected to a life of immense hardship, so he must return to the law of the wild and learn to survive. Buck turns to the ways of his forefathers, using the cunning, toughness and ferocity that lay dormant in him–he becomes the strongest sled dog in Alaska. But can he overcome the urge to run free of man’s rule, the urge to respond to the call of the wild?
