About the Book

Shiloh is Found is written from the viewpoint of a small abandoned pup who was rescued by an airplane in a fly-in community outside Savannah, GA. His story relates his discovery on the airstrip and how he was adopted by a loving couple who had no children. Shiloh tells of his experience going from a cold, hungry, abandoned little dog to a warm, well-fed, beloved pet. He has a good sense of humor about his situation and an open mind about all the baths he had to take to make him pretty and fluffy. Shiloh also tells how he got his name. This is the first of Shiloh's 9 books that he has told, since his discovery during Christmas holidays 2001. The book has been enjoyed by children from ages 3 to 12. Grandparents will find it a fun read for their grandchildren. Every page of the story has an illustration that supports what Shiloh has to tell. Laugh with Shiloh as his new "parents" Doc and LouLou make a great life for the little pup.

About the Author

An English major and teacher, Margaret Mobley started writing short stories and activity story-starters for her students in the 1960's. It wasn't until Shiloh appeared in her life that Margaret discovered the inspiration for a series of children's books. There are nine illustrated Shiloh books and five more to be illustrated. Margaret's dream is to take Shiloh "on the road" and let him tell his story through her. Margaret, her husband, and Shiloh can often be spotted walking around or riding in cabs in Savannah, GA. Look for future "Shiloh becomes a townie" books about his adventures in Savannah, GA.
