Call of the Wild by Jack London

The Call of the Wild is long-loved action adventure, with typical emotional highs and lows. Buck is living a happy life in California, when he is stolen and then sold to pay a gambling debt. Taken to the Klondike to become a sled dog, Buck must toughen up and learn the harsh rules of survival in the North. One of his first lessons is how to deal with being harnessed in the same team as a dog that wants to kill him. Large, strong and smart, Buck draws on the strength of his breeding as a powerful St. Bernard-Scotch Collie to face the challenges of his new life. But even the toughest dog can be worn down by constant work and ill-treatment, and after 3,000 miles of pulling sleds, Buck nears the end of his rope. Cast away as no longer useful, Buck is acquired by greenhorns whose inexperience nearly kills him, but after being saved by John Thornton, he at last finds a man he can love. Then on a remote gold-hunting expedition, Buck hears a call emanating from the woods and speaking to the wild heart of his distant ancestors. The lure of it almost balances the great love he bears for Thornton, but events take him away from his old life… and into legend. Eventually he is free to answer the call that has been tugging at him- The Call of the Wild.

3 Hours and 22 Minutes.
