And Judge Miller had a servant who had not enough money and too many children to feed. Dogs like Buck were desperately needed to pull the sleds in that harsh, frozen country. Gold had been found in Alaska and men were rushing to find their fortunes. But Buck's civilised life was about to come to an end, for dogs like him were in demand. 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. He was in his prime, a huge dog, a German Shepherd - St Bernard cross. When he was stolen and sold by a family servant, Buck was a young dog, just four years old. Bookbag recommends it for reading aloud to children in early primary school years and for reading alone for confident late primary readers and teens and adults of all ages. It has a challenging, but appropriate vocabulary, great pace and high romance in bucketloads. Summary: For confident readers, teens and adults too, The Call Of The Wild is a timeless classic.
