The Call of the Wild by Jack London is a gripping adventure novel that tells the story of Buck, a domesticated dog who is stolen from his comfortable California home and sold into the harsh life of an Alaskan sled dog during the Klondike Gold Rush. As Buck confronts brutal conditions, rival dogs, and demanding humans, he gradually taps into his primal instincts and ancestral heritage, transforming from a pampered pet into a fierce, independent survivor. Through Buck’s journey, London explores themes of survival, the call of nature versus civilization, and the enduring struggle between instinct and environment, crafting a powerful tale of resilience, courage, and the wild spirit.

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell is a classic novel told from the perspective of a horse, tracing his life from carefree foalhood through the hardships and kindnesses he encounters under various owners. Through Black Beauty’s eyes, Sewell explores themes of compassion, empathy, and humane treatment of animals, highlighting the cruelty and neglect often inflicted on horses in 19th-century England. The narrative combines vivid storytelling with moral instruction, emphasizing the importance of kindness, responsibility, and respect for all living creatures, making it both an engaging tale and a timeless lesson in ethics and empathy.
