The wolf was then captured in a cage and had to fight sometimes five dogs per day for betting (weddenschappen). Grey Beaver needed money and sold White Fang to Smith. In a Fort nearby Dawson, he met with “Beauty” Smith, a local burglar (oplichter). One day Grey Beaver went to Dawson, North of the Mackenzie River, to sell skins and mocassins since he heard that many gold explorers came there. The little wolf was treated like a savage by the Indians: he was beaten, shed from his mother, had to fight the dominant trail-dogs (trail=slede) and was mismanaged by the children. When its mother returned to the Indians, Grey Beaver took the cub and called it White Fang. ![]() ![]() As each little wolf, it was raised to find food and to smell blood. The cub looked like his mother, with a red trail over its back. He was born as the cub of a half-dog she-wolf and an old wolf called One-Eye. The main character of the story is the wolf White Fang. The story tells about a wolf cub, with some dog in it, which grows up with Indians, learning that fighting and savagery are the only ways of survival, until, after a life of brutality and hate, it learns that man can give love and kindness.
