Status Updates From The Call of the Wild

V sceptical that I’ll enjoy this but it’s on a bunch of must read lists…

This chapter could have been cut in 2. There is a lot that goes on a lot of dog fights. Getting caught in the snow when the sled dogs are breaking through the ice. The leader being so cold he needs to dry his clothes because of the snow being so wet. The survival of them all the dogs going up against each other and them barely having enough food for everyone. One dog going nuts. Buck finds his dominance in leading.

This was about Buck coming into himself and learning who he was, what he's been through, and how he could do many things. He learned how to get more food because he was a thicker dog who needed more than he was given he watched other dogs steal food, so he got more that way. He also learned to eat anything when he hungered for more, even when it wasn't digestible. He was different, and he knew it.

Wow this first chapter is brutal. You feel bad for Buck after being just a normal dog. He was treated bad and abused, trying to be broken he was beaten and bloodied. He wouldnt eat of drink water for 2 days being transferred. He was bought and transferred to another man, which was good because he would never again see the man who abused him ever again good thing. He would be joined by a few other dogs as well.
