The opening of the book introduces Buck, who lives a comfortable life as a pet in Judge Miller's home in the Santa Clara Valley. However, his idyllic existence comes to an end when he is kidnapped by Manuel, a gardener's helper with gambling debts. Buck is soon transported to the north, where he faces mistreatment and a stark new reality.
