The Call of the Wild

 

The Call of the Wild  By: Jack London

This has been on my list of classics to read and it did not disappoint. I started this book at the beginning of a shift and was able to finish it. I really loved this story which started out so sad but turned into something great.
This is just a testament to me of the loyalty of dogs to their owners that treat them well. Even though Buck had joined his wolf brothers. He would always go back to where Thornton was killed and mourned over the loss of his wonderfully kind master. I could see that some would think this would be such a sad ending. But I actually see it as something different. I see it as a dog who have overcome the odds finally found the love of a good master and human. When he lost that, instead of taking the chance of getting back in with bad and cruel humans. He answered the call of freedom that he had longed for.
