Ў®The call of wildЎ± is a book about a dogЎЇs life. Buck is a very strong, clever and wild dog. He is the leading actor of the book. BuckЎЇs first owner was Mr. Miller. He lived a happy life. But one day, his life changed.

Manuel, who is a gardener, kidnapped Buck. He took Buck to the north. Then Buck became a sledge-dog.
