Wowzers... this one punched me in the gut. I didn’t really know what to expect, other than a story about a dog, and I was definitely not expecting horrific treatment of dogs! Some parts of this book very very dificult to read, but I loved Buck’s tale. I was intrigued by London’s description of “the call” and references to Darwin and survival of the fittest. A very enthralling story and lesson on the true nature of man’s best friend.
