"The Call of the Wild" follows the journey of Buck, a large and powerful dog who is domesticated and lives a comfortable life in California. When he is stolen and sold into the brutal life of an Alaskan sled dog during the Klondike Gold Rush, Buck must adapt to the harsh realities of survival. As he faces the brutality of man and the wild's call, he reconnects with his primal instincts and ultimately embraces his true nature. Through struggles and triumphs, Buck transforms from a pampered pet into a fierce, independent creature of the wilderness. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
