A surprisingly cute read. I’ve always loved dogs, and this was a good book. Not much to say about it other than that. I found Judd’s character interesting, even if he did seem rude. The author really has a way of keeping you intrigued in the story. I’d read this again.

This book had such a hold on me as a child and it doesn’t quite hold up in the same way but it’s a quick cute read.

Beautiful character development in Marty. Such a loving dog, Shiloh is. I'm glad Judd improved a little bit.

emotional inspiring reflective

5.0

 Such a wholesome story about a boy and his dog. Teaches children about gray areas of life and how there's not always a clear line between right and wrong. Also shows empathy and morals along with hard work and dedication to get something you really want.
