《白牙》是一部动物描写小说,发表于1906年.作者以寒冷的加拿大北极地区为背景,采用拟人化的手法,描写一条诞生于荒野的混血狼狗,在几个月大时,由母狼带着从荒野世界回归到人类生活中来,由狼变成狗的故事.这只狗与人类共同生活,构成了三种不同的生活经历,展示了其人性化的发展历程.印第安人营地的生活使这条狗变得“乘僻和孤独,心性凶残没有爱,对动物和人都充满仇恨和敌视.”在印第安主人将它卖给白人恶汉史密斯后更加深了它愤世嫉俗的个性.受到史密斯的虐待和监控,它成了令人致命的“战狼”,在一场血腥几近亡命的斗犬搏杀后,新主人威顿·史考特救了它.在仁慈善良的主人的驯化下,这条狗克服了野性,变成主人忠实的宠儿,最后咬死主人的敌人,救了主人全家的性命.小说以喜剧结尾,这条狗有了一个幸福的家庭.在这部小说中,动物具有人性,作者通过动物之间的冲突,反映了资本主义社会与人之间的尔虞我诈.
