The story begins in 1897, at the start of the Klondike gold rush. The discovery of gold in the Klondike, a region in northwestern Canada's Yukon Territory, prompted thousands of goldseekers to head for the far north, all of them desperately in need of dogs to pull sleds across the harsh arctic trails.

Do you like the book?

Buck and his team must face harsh weather, small rations of food, and enemies. Men only cared about gold and money, not the dogs that pulled sleds for them.

I LOVE this book! It really shows the idea that we should treat dogs and other animals like people. There never was any dog like Buck: so stern, loyal, obedient, and for all I know, there never will be a dog like Buck.

I reccommend this Book!It is an all time classic!Award Winning Author!
