Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor JFIC

A touching story of the kinship between a boy and his dog. Marty finds a lost dog on a walk through the woods. When he finds out it is owned by the unkind and abusive Judd, Marty is determined to keep the dog away from him. I enjoyed the courage that Marty had to keep the dog out of the malicious Judd's hands. It also opened Marty's eyes to the abuse that happens everyday around him. It hits home when Shiloh shows up at his door.Will Marty get to keep Shiloh? Is Judd really as mean as everyone thinks? Did he do the right thing? Read to find out!

Food for thought: Do you have a special friendship with a pet? Try to describe it.
