In "Shiloh" by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, Marty lies about various things, including telling his parents that he doesn't have the dog Shiloh, claiming he found Shiloh wandering to avoid getting in trouble, and deceiving his father about the true nature of his friendship with the dog. He also lies to his mother about where he spends his time and misrepresents his interactions with Mr. Preston, Shiloh's original owner. These lies stem from his deep desire to protect Shiloh and keep him safe.
