"Wild Dog" is the debut novel by Finnish writer Pekka Juntti about a young man's search for his true purpose. Nineteen-year-old Samu leaves the mining village against his father's wishes and gets a job at a husky kennel in Northern Finland. This is how his adulthood begins - a difficult journey between the "mine", with its unfreedom, social conventions and deadening stereotypes, and the "kaira" - the world of untouched northern forests, the embodiment of a lost paradise, the center of everything real, the core of Life itself. Discovering the power of pristine nature and realizing his own lack of adaptation to it, getting acquainted with the way of life in Finnish villages, as if frozen in the past, and unwittingly touching the secret history of one local family, the protagonist in the face of death makes a choice in favor of love and acceptance of life. Nanok, one of the lost dogs from a husky kennel in Kaira, travels the same path from a semi-wild working sled dog, almost a wolf, to a man who is selflessly devoted and believes in a dream. Characterized by a pronounced epic beginning, humanism and humility before the power of nature, Pekka Juntti's novel is perceived as a hymn to the most valuable thing in human life - the freedom of personal choice.
