Book • 2013
The story follows White Fang, a half-wolf, half-dog, from his birth in the wild to his eventual domestication.

Born to a she-wolf named Kiche, White Fang faces numerous challenges, including famines, hostile treatment from other dogs, and cruel human owners.

He is initially raised by Grey Beaver, an Indian, and later falls into the hands of the abusive dog-fighter Beauty Smith.

However, his life takes a significant turn when he is rescued by Weedon Scott, a kind and patient gold hunter who tames him and takes him to California.

There, White Fang learns to trust and love his new master and eventually becomes a cherished family pet, demonstrating the power of nurture over nature.
