MESSAGE:
Marty keeps telling more lies so he can feed and take care of Shiloh. Why did Judd kick Shiloh when he saw him?

FROM:
Tiffany S.
Grade 5
Adams School
Scranton, PA
MESSAGE:
No, Marty does not feel sorry for Judd, I don't even feel sorry for Judd because of what he does to Shiloh. It is wrong to abuse the dog, but it is Judd's dog. I would try to get the dog because when my dog is loose, I go get him. I do not let him run like Judd does. What would you do?

Marisol, I think that Marty felt very sad and sorry for Shiloh because Jud is going to treat hem very bad and Shiloh's life is going to terrible with Jud. Jud is going to be very mean to Shiloh.

MESSAGE:
Judd said, "Once I find the dog, I will break his legs." Marty is scared that Judd is going to get mad at Shiloh. Do you think Judd will find the dog? I think he won't because he won't go up into the woods.

Maritza M.,I think that Shiloh felt sad when he returned with Jud because he was scared to be kicked him again. I think that when Shiloh came to marty he felt happy.

MESSAGE:
Allen B.,
I think Shiloh will run away from Judd because he doesn't like him. I think Judd will find out that Shiloh is missing because if Judd gives him food and he'll find out.

Marty sometimes has nightmares about Shiloh out in the rain feeling disappointed at him.I wonder why when Marty sees bugs it reminds him of Shiloh?

MESSAGE:
How is Marty's secret growing? I think that Marty's secret is growing because Marty keeps on lying to everyone because he doesn't want to give up the dog. Can someone else tell me why Marty's secret is growing?

MESSAGE:
I think Marty really cared aboat Shiloh beacause he even wanted to buy the dog from Judd Travers When he got Shiloh for his own dog Shiloh really touched his heart because when he first saw Shiloh he acted like he knew the dog and when he stole Shilh he fed him twice a day and let Shiloh lick all over his face. Why would Marty act like the dog was his when he did not know the dog? What ave you the interest to write this book? Do you write other books? Did you think about giving Shiloh a last name? How about Shiloh Preston.
