When he was stolen and sold by a family servant, Buck was a young dog, just four years old. He was in his prime, a huge dog, a German Shepherd - St Bernard cross. He'd become the lord of all he surveyed around Judge Miller's place - he was a lucky dog; born with the strength of one parent and the intelligence of the other. But Buck's civilised life was about to come to an end, for dogs like him were in demand. Gold had been found in Alaska and men were rushing to find their fortunes. Dogs like Buck were desperately needed to pull the sleds in that harsh, frozen country. And Judge Miller had a servant who had not enough money and too many children to feed. That is how Buck came to be stolen away from his pampered life and sold into the slavery of the sled dog.

|comment= As a young lad, which was back in the 30's, I had this book given to me for Christmas. I read it and enjoyed it very much. I always wanted to ride or drive a dog team.
I might get my desire completed.
I am reading a book about Sam O. White a early individual that had many howwering experiences here in the early days of Alaska.
