Shiloh by phyllis reynolds naylor5/9/2023 ![]() ![]() As it turns out, though, whereas I think of Ivan as animal rights propaganda for kids, Shiloh is much more open-ended in its treatment of the subject matter, raising questions without easy answers and allowing the reader to contemplate their implications on her own. Like The One and Only Ivan, this is a book I avoided for a long time because it seemed like it might be a Very Special Animal Story. Moved by pity, Marty gives the dog a name, Shiloh, and despite warnings from his parents to mind his own business, becomes actively involved in trying to save the dog from his sad living situation. Unfortunately, the dog belongs to Judd Travers, a neighbor with so little compassion for the animals he owns he doesn't even give them names. ![]() One day, in the hills behind his house in West Virginia, Marty Preston finds a beagle and falls in love with him. ![]()
