Fantastic classic with great narration!

A truly great classic, brought to life by a skilled narrator! could not stop listening and finished it in just a few hours longer than the length of the book. (I was so rudely interrupted by my doctors appointment).

So glad I read this!

A story through the eyes of a dog that becomes in tune with his inner wild calling. It describes heartache, pain, love, courage and finding and becoming your true self. I cried many times during this story. If you are a dog lover than this is a must read!!!

best intelligence read

Interesting dogs point of view.Well written. Great thinking read. Will test your vocabulary knowledge.

Wow, never saw it coming!!

If you are dog lover, beware...this book will make you want to jump back in time and take care of some problems Buck had to face.

This would be awesome book for a day of travels. You can share it with your kids! NO BAD LANGUAGE...NONE...NO SEXUAL CONTENT!

Truly enjoyable adventure with Buck and his roommates!

Wonderful writing and narration

This is the story of a wonderful dog who was passed from hand to hand. It is heart wrenching to listen to the cruelty of man, yet the spirit of this brave dog overcame every challenge.
