The Call of the Wild mind map is Adventure based Novel. Buck, a big and kindhearted dog, a crossbreed between a St. Bernard and a Scotch Collie, was stolen from his home in Santa Clara County, California, and deported up north, to be sold in Skagway, Alaska, and taken even further north, to Dawson City, Yukon, during the late 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, when strong sled dogs were in high demand.
Buck, a dog unlike any other, who had been spoiled and mistreated but could not be broken, is enjoying the time of his life as a newbie to the dog team delivery business - and not long before becoming their front-runner - is having the time of his life. Forced to struggle for survival, he is eventually carried to the Arctic Circle by his last owner, John Thornton, somewhere between Yukon and Alaska, where he gradually relies on his basic instincts, abandons civilization, and responds to "the call of the wild" as lord of his own domain.
Thornton appears and rescues Buck while Hal forces the other sled dogs to cross the lake. Under Thornton's care, Buck recovers. Later, at a saloon, Thornton is attacked by Hal, who reveals the dogs managed to run off leaving him with nothing.
