White Fang by Jack London

White Fang is a wild wolf–dog (the son of a female dog and a male wolf), whose entire life is tragic. His father and brothers die when he is little and he is left with just his mother. A group of Native Americans take him from his mother, but he has trouble adapting to the camp, because neither the men or the other dogs will go near him.
