such a poignant read—filled to the brim with takes on work, class, instinct, and love, jack london manages to craft a perfectly devastating life story of a dog and his journey. i found myself moved to tears multiple times just by london’s descriptions of nature and love, and i absolutely did sob at the end!

devastating read for people who enjoy that whole love-like-a-dog metaphor
