Book Review 6:The Call of the Wild

This is a story about a dog, Buck, which became a sled dog in Canada.
Buck was a strong dog with a thick coat. He lived in a big house, Mr. Miller’s place, in sunny California. There were other dogs at Mr. Miller’s house, but Buck was the most important. He was the boss there, and he was very happy.
One day, Manuel, who worked for Mr. Miller, put a rope around Buck’s neck and left the house quietly. Manuel met a man at a train station, and the man gave Manuel a lot of money for the dog, Buck.
The year, 1897, was an exciting year. Some men found gold in the cold Arctic north of Canada and a lot of people followed them there. Everybody wanted gold. And they wanted dogs --- strong dogs with thick coat, like Buck.
Buck was not only strong but also clever and studied quickly. So many people thanked him and they amazed. However, the travel was too hard for Buck and his owners. One day, the owner whom Buck loved the best was killed, and Buck went crazy. He killed a lot of animals and people.
After few days later, Buck fought wolves and won. He became the boss of the wolves!

This story is not happy. When Buck went crazy, he was really crazy! Also, many sled dogs died because the trip was too hard. Probably this is a sad story. I think the Gold age was a terrible for dogs.
