The main conflict of the story is dog-nature vs. wolf-nature, or nature vs.
Growing up in the Yukon territory of Canada during the Klondike Gold Rush, he learned the law of the Wild at an early age: kill, or be killed, eat, or be eaten. Separated from his mother and traded from master to master, White Fang never grasped the concept of love, and violence was all that he knew.
He save one day, a mixed dogwolf from the hands of a cruel man, and a brave friendship develops between the two. With beautifully realistic details of the harsh realities of life in the Yukon, White Fang is a grippingly original tale about morality and redemption that still stands as an American classic.
