Why did you name it Shiloh?

Me and my class recently read your book and I liked your book and we are going to watch the movie. My favorite part is when Marty went to David Howard house and his pet went thought the maze did you enjoy writing the book and why did you name it Shiloh. I am a 4th grader from Waynesville Ohio

I named both the book and the dog “Shiloh” because it was in the little community of Shiloh, West Virginia, that I came across the real dog that inspired the Shiloh books.
