A gold prospector Mason, his wife Ruth and their friend Malemute Kid have noticed that their dogs are getting vicious – the dogs watch every food bite they take enviously. Life of a gold prospector is not easy, and it is definitely not easy for their dogs either.

However, soon the dogs seem like a secondary problem – Mason has to give up his biggest dream and Malamute Kid has to make a decision no man would ever want to make.

'The White Silence' is an exciting short story by Jack London.
