"The Call of the Wild" follows Buck, a domestic dog who is stolen from his comfortable life in California and thrust into the brutal world of the Alaskan Gold Rush. As he adapts to the harsh conditions and the law of survival, Buck reconnects with his primitive instincts. He faces challenges from both nature and humans, learning the ways of the wild and the call of his ancestors. Through trials and tribulations, Buck transforms from a pampered pet into a fierce, independent creature, ultimately answering the call of the wild and embracing his true nature.
