This is the story of a wild dog's journey toward becoming civilized in the Canadian Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush, at the end of the 19th Century. The book is characteristic of London's precise prose style and innovative use of voice and perspective, with much of the novel written from the view-point of the animals.
