White Fang Jack London

The months went by, binding stronger and stronger the covenant between dog and man. This was the ancient covenant that the first wolf that came in from the Wild entered into with man. And, like all succeeding wolves and wild dogs that had done likewise, White Fang worked the covenant out for himself. The terms were simple. For the possession of a flesh-and-blood god, he exchanged his own liberty. Food and fire, protection and companionship, were some of the things he received from the god. In return, he guarded the god's property, defended his body, worked for him, and obeyed him. White Fang, Part wolf, part dog; White Fang survives assaults by nature, circumstance, and men. Jack London's tale of adversity and perseverance in the northern wilderness continues to enthrall the young and old alike.
