I think Marty called the dog following him Shiloh because he found him in Shiloh School house.Why did the dog follow Marty? I think the dog was following Marty because he was hungry.

Hi, my name is Ally. Marty and his sister are different because his sister is younger and he is older. Also because his sister is shy and marty is not. They are similar because they are brother and sister, and they both live in the same house.

MESSAGE:
We're just starting the book, but here are our observations for Ch.1: It was kind of sad because of how Shiloh stopped smiling when the boy said go home because the dog just wanted to have a friend. We think the author tried to get as much information that she could so she could make it more realistic instead of making up her own story. What happened so far in the story happened to me one time when I went to sleep over at a friend's house on Halloween. A black cat followed me, and he was still there on the next morning.

So far the book is different from the movie because in the movie the branch he was going to shoot wasn't there.

I think that Siloh thought that the sunday dinner was for him because he came. I wonder why they call him Shiloh and I wonder why Shiloh followed Marty . I think that Shiloh followed Marty because he was hungry. Why do you think Shiloh followed Marty?

MESSAGE:
I think that Shiloh is a good dog and smart because he ran away from home. Also about Marty I think that when Marty saw that Shiloh was following him around he wanted to keep him. What do you think?
