What is there to say about this book? It's a classic for a reason. The tale of Buck, a pampered southern dog who gets stolen away to be made into a sled dog for the Alaskan gold rush is an ideal storyline to start with. On top of that, it is eloquently told by a man who clearly understands animals and animal behavior. A real tear-jerker, and one definitely worthy of re-reads.
