The wilderness of Alaska in 1897 was an adventurous place for the gold rush. Young John takes the journey to discover not only gold but to find himself too. On his way to the Yukon he crosses paths with a German shepherd named Buck that he wants as his own. Although it takes a period of time the man and animal do cross paths once again resulting in a life-long friendship and team. Together they discover and face the hardships that this area produces.

This is a movie much like those Sunday night ones I watched with my family as a girl, filled with adventure and the intrigue of the times. It is a story of hardships and friendships. We award “Call of the Wild” the Dove Family-Approved” 12+ Seal.
