The main character of Jack London 's "Wild Call" (1903) is Back, St. Bernard / Scottish Shepherd. One evening in 1897, a poor farm worker stole Barker from a comfortable northern California house and sold it to a sleighing dog. This novel focuses on the struggle and success of the back in the study of the club during the Klondike gold rush held in Yukon and Alaska in Canada from 1897 to 1998, and the control of the dog. Four years as home pet did not eliminate the original instinct and imagination of the back. He survived cruelly from humans and the wilderness and became the leader of his dog sled team. He endured hunger and fatigue, learned to remove food and fight against his opponent's dog. Nonetheless, the back was the first person who "gained proficiency in the surge of life". After all, Buck suffered from his desire to answer his last master, his love for John Thornton, and the mysterious summons of his ancestors.
