I think Shiloh likes Marty because Marty has been taken good care of Shiloh. Shiloh doesn't like Judd because Judd hasen't treated Shiloh right. Marty thinks Judd is going to kill Shiloh. So thats why Marty is looking after Shiloh.

I think Marty likes Shiloh as a pet dog. His father thinks He's a pest. He's a nice dog but still he should'nt be misstreated.

MESSAGE:
This message is for all of the students (Cheetara, Anh, Tyrone, Hussein, and Bridey) from Klentzman Intermediate who posted comments on Wednesday. My class will begin Shiloh tomorrow and will be posting messages too! I was so excited tonight to see children all the way from the great state of Texas participating. You all have really good questions and comments. I do think Shiloh is a very smart dog because he is hanging around Marty who is a very good person. If I were Shiloh, I would have run away too. Talk to you on Thursday!!!!

FROM:
Datrian
Grade 5

MESSAGE:
I think Marty is not an honest person and I do think he's an honest person because he is not telling the truth. The reason why I dont think he's an honest person is because he lies when his parent's ask about Shiloh. He is honest because he keeps Shiloh from being hurt.
