Shiloh

A young boy named Marty Preston (Blake Heron) names his rescued beagle Shiloh after a traumatic encounter with his cruel owner Judd Travers (Scott Wilson). After Shiloh's repeated mistreatment by Judd, Marty keeps the dog in secret but must turn to his father Raymond "Ray" Preston (Michael Moriarty) for help when a stray attacks Shiloh. Ray initially resists keeping the dog, but after seeing the abuse firsthand, he softens and helps Marty defend Shiloh against Judd's attempts to take him back.
