White Fang

Wolf-dog survival story

White Fang is the title character of Jack London's 1906 novel—a wild wolf-dog hybrid who endures brutal treatment before finding kindness.

The name evokes fierce wildness: white suggests the animal's coloring and the frozen Yukon setting, while fang signals predatory danger.

I'm reading White Fang for English class.
