This book brings together two classics by Jack London, the Call of the Wild and White Fang. Summary of the Books Call of the Wild A young dog is kidnapped from its farm home and forced to pull sleighs in Alaska, where its feral nature begins to take hold. Buck begins to lead the pack, and soon, he must decide whether he chooses between the wild or the domestic peace of servitude. White Fang A dog, more wolf than canine, tries to reckon with its fate and its differences as it tries to find a home in a pack of domesticated dogs. The odds turn the wolf-dog into a feral creature, one that becomes “the enemy of its kind”.
