  • Ethics: (i.e. the neighbor Judd's out-of-season hunting)

  • Animal treatment by humans: (Judd's mistreatment/abuse of dogs in order to "properly train" them

  • Morality: distinction between Marty's treatment vs. Judd's treatment of Shiloh

    At times, could be very black & white about good and bad, especially regarding Judd.

    Favorite character: Mr. Wallace, a storeowner/grandfather of Marty's friend, Sam. Took over responsibilities of raising their granddaughter after parent's death.
