We’ll admit it: we’re unabashed dog lovers. Give us a video of a corgi and you’ve guaranteed that we start squealing. Give us a gif of a husky puppy and you’ve guaranteed us at least an hour of unadulterated joy. Give us some IRL one-on-one action with actual real-deal doggy, and you’ve basically sent us to cloud nine. So it comes as no surprise that we love The Call of the Wild. Because: it’s about a dog.
Join us as we pick apart this novel, analyzing themes, characters, symbols, plot, and more.
Since 2008, Shmoop has been a digital publishing company with a point of view. Our teaching method revolves around the basic idea that learning is often too hard—so we carry gallons of academic WD-40 to squirt on the tracks whenever we can.
We own 100% of our content and present both a consistent voice and a distinctive product offering. Our Learning Guides, Online Courses, College Readiness Prep, and Test Prep balance a teen-friendly, approachable style with academically rigorous materials to help students understand why they should care.
