Shiloh questions

Comment:

I was reading Shiloh, and it was a good and a sad book. When I got to the part when Shiloh got shot in the leg, I felt sadness in me. And when dad said to Marty was,’’ When the dog is alive, we are going to take it back to Judd’’, and that was sad for me .I can stop reading the book, I want to find out. I like how you tell the story from your life when you found a dog .

I was wondering, what age did you find the dog ? Did you get to keep the dog ? What kind of dog is it ? How old is the dog ?

The vet estimated that the dog was about two years old when we found her.  (She was female).  She had the coloring of a beagle, but was a mixed breed.  Our friends in West Virginia adopted her and she lived to be about 12 years old.
