Buck, a large mixed breed dog, was stolen away from his home in California and beaten into submission in order to become a sled dog during the Yukon Gold Rush. During many owners, Buck soon overcomes many obstacles including a battle with his enemy, discovering love for a master, and coming to terms with the wild instincts.
Despite the dark themes of animal abuse, starvation, and even dog-fighting, this book maintains a a strong theme of overcoming challenges. (06/2023)
