Features: White Fang is a novel about animal life, published in 1906. The author sets the story in the cold Arctic regions of Canada and employs anthropomorphic techniques to describe a mixed-breed wolf-dog born in the wilderness. At a few months old, the mother wolf brings the puppy from the wild world back into human life, telling the story of its transformation from wolf to dog. This dog lives with humans, experiencing three different life stages and showcasing its journey of humanization. Life in the Indian camp makes the dog "eccentric and lonely, with a cruel and loveless nature, filled with hatred and hostility toward both animals and humans." After the Indian owner sells it to the white brute Smith, its cynical personality deepens. Under Smith's abuse and surveillance, it becomes a deadly "war wolf." After a bloody and near-fatal dogfight, the new owner, Scott Witon, saves it. Under the training of a kind and benevolent master, the dog overcomes its wildness and becomes a loyal pet, finally biting the master's enemy to save the lives of the entire family. The novel ends comically, with the dog finding a happy family. In this novel, animals possess human qualities, and the author reflects the hypocrisy and deceit between people in a capitalist society through conflicts among animals.
