"AS A TOKEN OF WHAT A PUPPET THING life is, the ancient song surged through him and he came into his own again"
from The Call of the Wild by Jack London

The classic story of Buck, a dog stolen from the comfort of his California home and thrust into the merciless life of a sledge dog in the Yukon Gold Rush in 1897. He has to learn the laws of the wild and while the men around him descend into depravity, corrupted by their desire for gold, he is ennobled by the experience.
