The Call of the Wild

The story opens in 1897 with Buck, a powerful 140-pound St. Bernard-Scotch Collie mix, happily living in California's Santa Clara Valley as the pampered pet of Judge Miller and his family. One night, assistant gardener Manuel, needing money to pay off gambling debts, steals Buck and sells him to a stranger. Buck is shipped to Seattle where he is confined in a crate, starved, and ill-treated. When released, Buck attacks his handler, the "man in the red sweater," who teaches Buck the "law of club and fang," sufficiently cowing him. The man shows some kindness after Buck demonstrates obedience.
