What inspired you to write Shiloh? Do you own any dogs like Shiloh? I love the Shiloh books! 😉

I came across such a dog in the little community of Shiloh, West Virginia, back in 1988, and couldn’t get her out of my mind.  So I built a story around her, changing her to a male dog and naming her “Shiloh.”   You’ll find out more about her on this website, www.phyllisnaylor.com   I don’t own any dogs now, but I grew up with a Springer Spaniel named Pepper.  You’ll find a photo of her on this website as well.
