Thrown into a life-and-death struggle on the frozen Artic wilderness.

And the greatest lesson he learns from his last owner, John Thornton: the power of love and loyalty.</p>Yet always, even at the side of the human he loves, Buck feels the pull in his bones, an urge to answer his wolf ancestors as they howl to him.</p>Product Identifiers
