The Call of the Wild

The vibrant story of Buck, a big-hearted dog, a cross between a St. Bernard and a Scotch Collie, whose carefree life of leisure is suddenly upended when he is stolen from his home in Santa Clara County, California, and taken to Dawson City, Yukon, in the late 1890s during the Klondike Gold Rush, when strong sled dogs were in high demand. A newcomer to the dog sled delivery team, Buck is having the time of his life. Forced to fight to survive, he is eventually taken by his last owner, John Thornton, to the Arctic Circle, somewhere between Yukon and Alaska, where he increasingly relies on his primal instincts, sheds the comforts of civilization and answers “the call of the wild,” becoming his own master.
