At first i was hesitant to read this, but my passionate love for horses drew me to it. I had wanted to read it for a while, but couldn't find the book. Now i have found it, and learned the harsh, wild, and encouraging struggle and life, of a half wolf half dog.White Fang was born in the wild. His mother, Kiche, was a dog, but she was wilder than nearly any wolf. White Fang's father, One-Eye died when he was just a pup. Kiche tried to protect her last remaining cub, as her others died. Suddenly, one day, White Fang and Kiche find an Indian named Grey Beaver. The man takes in White Fang and Kiche.  Lip Lip is a mean dog who bullies and torments White Fang. White Fang must hide by his mother, who attacks the bully when she gets the chance, because she is tied up, but White Fang has freedom to roam that is cut short from Lip Lip. One day, Kiche is taken away. I think that it was cruel that when White Fang tried to follow his mother, Grey Beaver beat him. Then threw him on shore, where Lip Lip attacks him. Of course Grey Beaver saves White Fang.Hears pass, and White Fang is feared and mean. During a famine, he kills and eats Lip Lip. Soon, a drought follows, and Grey Beaver sells White Fang to a man who hardens his torn tattered heart, and breaks his tense thin spirit. The man is Beauty Smith. Beauty puts White Fang in dog fights to the death. Two dogs go in, one comes out. Beauty scarcely feeds White Fang and cares only about money. Then, the Bulldog immigrated to America. At the moment, White Fang had defeated many opponents. A lynx, a wild starved wolf, and two dogs at once even. He was undefeated obviously, because he was still alive. The bulldog was new, and everyone wanted to see White Fang against a bulldog. The bulldog got  a lucky grip on White Fang's throat. It almost was a defeat for life, until a man named Scott saves and buys him. Scott and Matt are roommates. They nurse White Fang to health.Scott was surprised when he earned White Fang's trust. He would hide his face under his arm and growl softly in a love croon way. Matt wasn't as close, bit White Fang respected him. One day Scott took White Fang to the country. A female dog named Collie attacks him every time she sees him when he gets there. She refuses to go easy on him because he is a wolf, and wolves kill cattle and chickens. When White Fang saves Scott's life, she begins to act friendly towards him. Then, when White Fang kills a criminal, who was framed, and was trying to kill Scott's family because his father was the judge that sentenced  him to fifty years in jail. Collie falls in love with White Fang, who was injured beyond repair, but they have puppies. White Fang recovers and lives a long happy life with Scott.
