The Call of the Wild by Jack London

It moves slowly, but speeds at times. The end is nice makes you feel that Buck and John have a special bond. Buck gets in a dramatic fight with Spitz the "Devil Dog" of the team.

John is my favorite character because he has faith in Buck to help him. John helps Buck back to strength and Buck helps him out of countless problems.
