Job Description
When Buck, a mixed breed dog, is taken from his home, instead of facing a breakfast feast and the comforts of home, he faces the difficulties of being a sled dog. He soon lands in the wrong hands and is forced to move on when things become too difficult for him and the other dogs in his pack. He also fights the urge to run free with his ancestors, the wolves who live near where he pulls the sled.
