Family takes in a pet Seal.

A plaintive 1997 adaptation of Jack London's 1903 adventure classic about "the reign of primitive law." Although Rutger Hauer is the human star of the stately Canadian film, it's told from the point of view of Buck, a sensitive and intelligent St. Bernard-Labrador. Kidnapped from his California home, Buck is sold as a beast of burden in the Yukon, where the mistreated animal bonds with prospector John Thornton (Hauer). But Buck yearns to run free, and with ever increasing urgency to "the wild." Richard Dreyfuss Morissette.
