"To Buck it was boundless delight, this hunting, fishing, and indefinite wandering through strange places."

Pampered dog Buck lives a comfortable life in Santa Clara Valley, where he spends his days eating and sleeping in the golden sunshine. But one day, a terrible act of betrayal leads to his kidnap, and he is forced into a life of work and danger.

Dragged away to be a sledge dog in the harsh and freezing cold Yukon, Buck must fight for his place in the wilderness – and a place to call home.
