White Fang is born in the Yukon wilderness and enters human society through Gray Beaver's camp. Rejected by other dogs and repeatedly taught that force determines safety, the wolf-dog becomes suspicious, defensive and formidable as the Gold Rush transforms the northern settlements around him.
Beauty Smith turns that strength into spectacle through organised dog fighting until prospector Weedon Scott intervenes. The novel reverses the movement of The Call of the Wild: instead of leaving civilisation for the wilderness, White Fang must discover whether patience and affection can undo the behaviour created by hunger, abuse and fear.
