      ab: This article focuses on using an animal studies approach to teach Jack London’s works *To Build a Fire* and *White Fang* in university English courses. It outlines how this perspective, which emphasizes nonhuman characters as agents with biological and behavioral significance rather than mere symbols, enriches literary analysis and student engagement. The approach integrates concepts from Naturalism, evolution, determinism, anthropomorphism, and agency, encouraging students to consider animal cognition and ethics alongside traditional literary themes. Through close reading and critical discussion, students explore how London’s representations of dogs and wolves reflect inherited traits and environmental adaptation, fostering interdisciplinary skills in literature, philosophy, and animal sciences.
