** While there is little doubt that the brutally abusive "law of club and fang" tactics he describes as standard procedure were used by some people, they're not only unnecessary but ''profoundly stupid.'' Beating, shouting, and whipping dogs accomplishes one thing--creating a reactive, unstable dog that hates and fears you. Steady, consistent, humane treatment will always produce better results.
** Wolf packs have no such thing as an "alpha" in the way portrayed in the novel; they are close-knit familial groups consisting of parents and several generations of that breeding pair's offspring, generally have very little internal conflict, and do not operate on a dominance-based system any animal could "take over" by force. For that matter, while dogs do form complicated social dynamics, they never operate in the clear-cut pecking order portrayed by London's work.
** While any dog in a high-stress situation will bite if it feels threatened, Buck is ready to ''kill'' the moment his crate is opened solely because he has been stolen from his owner. If a dog actively tries to kill the nearest stranger the moment it's placed in an unfamiliar situation, that dog is beyond help and would realistically have been put down years ago due to its instability, not allowed to wander free in close contact with children.

'''''The Call of the Wild''''' is a 1903 novel by Creator/JackLondon. The plot revolves around a dog named Buck and how his primal instincts return as he serves as a sled dog in the Yukon during the Klondike gold rush. It's usually considered his best novel, and he followed it with a SpiritualSuccessor called ''Literature/WhiteFang'', a longer and even darker story about a wolf being domesticated and eventually sent to live in UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco. Because the protagonist is a dog, it is often mistaken for a kid's book. The dark tone and gritty violence make it decidedly ''not''. The novel has had a lot of adaptations over the years, [[HumanFocusedAdaptation usually focusing on the human characters more than the dogs]].
