"The Call of the Wild" from Kelli

This was a quick and enjoyable read, especially if you're a dog lover.  The story chronicles the life of Buck, a hunting dog who is kidnapped and trained as a sled dog.  The novel follows Buck as he adjusts to the cruel life in the Yukon - what Jack London refers to as "the law of club and fang" and the passion he finds in the wilderness.

Annnnnd, that's pretty much it :) Quick read, quick post.
