Synopsis
These savage, poetic, and courageous tales of existence are told through the eyes of two different canines. Although on one level they are stories about four-legged animals, the lessons of life in domestic and wild circumstances speak to generations past, present, and to come. London's stories are American treasures of wilderness and the harsh realities of existence.
