Who would ever think that Buck, a family dog would ever be wild? It turns out that buck's owner's son sold him to a dog sledding company. Buck is a strong active dog, and the son got good money for him. Buck is taught he has to be vicious with other dogs to survive. Going from owner to owner, he knows each owner has a different personality. His last owners do not know how to take care of dogs, so halfway through the trip the food is really low, and the dogs start starving. One day Buck gets whipped for not getting up after the group's rest. Luckly a stranger named John Thorton saves Buck and tells everyone to go on without him. Buck stayed with John Thorton and really loved him. Buck stayed with him until he started feeling the 'calls of the wild'. Buck would dissapear for days at a time. After one of his trips, buck smelled something horribly wrong on the way back to camp... Read this interesting book to find out what happens next! I have really loved this book since fourth grade, and want other people to read it.
PS. Jack London is the Author as of White Fang, which I have also written a summary about.
