Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

I really liked this book. It was very sad but very interesting in my opinion. In a rate of 1-5 I would give this book a 5 because it was absolutely one of the best books that I have read. The book Shiloh is from Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. The book Shiloh is about a beagle that runs away, wandering around the streets not knowing what to do after being abused. On the road, he meets a boy named Marty Preston and follows him home without Marty knowing. The boy immediately becomes friends with the dog and names him Shiloh. His harsh dad won't let him keep the dog because it belongs to Judd Travers, a horrible local hunter that treats animals terribly. So Marty had to return Shiloh back to Judd.  After Marty returns him to his owner, Shiloh gets mistreated again and he runs away and returns to Marty. Knowing his dad will make him bring Shiloh back to Judd again, he makes a home for the dog in an old shed up the hill from his house and hides Shiloh from his family. His secret is soon discovered when the neighbor’s German shepherd attacks the dog one night and must ask his dad for help. Will Marty’s secret be discovered? Will Shiloh die after being attacked? Read the book to find out!
