Description
Jerry was born in Santa Isabel Island, a part of the Solomon Islands archipelago.
Jerry's owner was Mr. Haggin, who worked as a plantation guard and used Jerry to chase black slaves.
Higgin gave Jerry to Mr. Van Horn, Captain of ship Arangi, under condition to return the dog if something bad happens.
The ship was engaged in delivering so-called "reverse" slaves who worked for three years on a plantation.
During a stop on Malaita island, Arangi was attacked by the natives, who killed the captain and skipper.
Jerry was kicked from the ship, which was looted and burned.
A native boy found Jerry in the sea and delivered the dog on the shore.
Later, Jerry was brought to a village, where tribe chief Bashto decided to use Jerry for improving the breed of local dogs.
Jerry received a taboo status and began to live among the tribesmen.Jack London (January 12, 1876 - November 22, 1916), was an American author who wrote The Call of the Wild and other books.
A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first Americans to make a huge financial success from writing.
