Did you cry?

Comment:

I have been in tears many times reading your book. It is very touching.Did a german shepard really attack the real Shiloh or did you come up with that in your own?I can only imagine how sad it was to write scenes like that. Did you ever cry when you were writing some of these scenes? I have always wondered why Judd was so mean to his dogs.

I imagined the attack.  And if you cry when you read it, you can be sure I had tears in my eyes when I wrote it.
