The Call of the Wild
Call of the Wild by Jack London is about a dog named Buck who was living a mellow life in California at the story's opening, but who's kidnapped and taken to Alaska to work as a sled dog in the Klondike Gold Rush. It's London's most popular work, and though it's sometimes considered a children's book, it can be somewhat dark and violent in places.
Buck is bought and sold several times as a sled dog, but is eventually rescued from his inept owners by John Thornton, who's an experienced outdoorsman. The two bond immediately and carry on as companions in the great Alaska wild, but when disaster strikes, Buck is drawn back into the wilderness with a pack of wolves.

I predict a resurgence in the popularity of these old classics due primarily to the fact that they can be had in e-form for free. Bravo to all who work to make them available!

Jack London is great! Not very long - quick read. Love the way the story is told through the mind of the dog. Check out the longer White Fang if you like this one!!

An amazing story! I was caught in the story from start to finish-- a tale of the familiar Gold Rush, told from the first-person view of an admirable dog who was stolen and sold north to work as a sled dog.

One of London's best. I read this story first as a boy and loved it. I've returned many times since. After traveling to the Yukon and Alaska I reread it again. I admit I'm a dog lover hope you enjoy this story of a dog's life.
