The novel's protagonist is a domesticated dog named Buck. As the story begins, he lives at a ranch in the Santa Clara Valley of California. When Buck is stolen from the ranch and sold as a sled dog in Alaska, he reverts to his primal state. He has no choice but to dominate other dogs in a brutal climate. He sheds all softening effects of civilization and relies on his primordial instincts and acquired experience to emerge as an alpha dog. It is a beautifully told tale of survival. The Call of the Wild is a book with a heart. It is a book with a conscience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Magdalene Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50922187194642,"sku":"9781773351216","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_c97e6896-5b7d-45d5-adb5-75447a61d29a.jpg?v=1770979412","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-call-of-the-wild-9781773351216","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
