I do not know the titles or the authors, I only have a vague description. The first one is about a boy (?) that finds a dog, wants to keep it and can't, and after trying to find it a home, without success, keeps it in an abandoned car. I was told it was Shiloh, but what I have read of Shiloh doesn't sound familiar...
The other one I am sure nobody has any idea how to locate. It was read aloud to me during 3rd grade over 20 years ago and the ONLY thing I remember is it dealt with pheasant hunting, and a man (Or a boy, or a father/son couple maybe?) who drugs the pheasants with aspirin?? I remember loving the book and wish I could figure out the title.

I apologize for being so vague, but this is all I can remember about these two books. I have been looking in vain for over a decade.
Thank you for ANY information you can give me.

Hi. The second book you are looking for is called 'Danny, champion of the world' and was written by roald dahl..

It is a classic.

Hope this helps!

Yeah, I was going to say that - you beat me! I love the book!

The other one rings a bell, I think there were some bullies involved and the dog saved the boy, or is that another one??
