While travelling in the wild, Buck starts developing his true animal side and the old civilized Buck is left behind as he is now a free and vicious dog too, always bloodthirsty and ruthless. Buck then goes around and along the way, his masters are always changed. Once gone, Buck is then sold to two other new Masters and they take him into the wild, in the cold Northern Canada, where he and other vicious dogs of similar breeds are to carry sleds for mail deliverymen. One day, a gardener at Judge Miller’s house steals Buck and sells him to some dog traders. Buck was always pampered by his Master, Judge Miller, who lived in a posh country house. I like how the author does not try to make the dogs seem human, but keep them as animals, yet you can understand all their thoughts and points of view based on their actions. This graphic novel adaption of Jack London’s The Call of the Wild is a fantastic adventure based around the drastic change in the life of a dog named Buck. By Neil Kleid, Classic Fiction, 148 Pages
