An abused
beagle runs away from his cruel owner and meets Marty Preston. The dog follows the boy home, but is not allowed to stay. Marty immediately bonds with the dog and names him Shiloh. His stern father won't let the boy keep the dog because it belongs to Judd Travers, a local hunter. They return Shiloh to the owner but after Shiloh is mistreated again, he runs away and returns to Marty. Knowing his father will once again make him bring Shiloh back to Judd, he makes a home for the dog in an old shed and hides him from his family. His secret is soon revealed when the Baker's German Shepherd attacks the dog one night and he must turn to his father for help.Later on, the boy makes a deal with Judd in hopes that he would own the beagle if he could work around Judd's property for a while. Marty makes Judd sign the deal on a calendar. After all of Marty's hard work, Judd simply says that there weren't any witnesses to sign and that a contract is no good without it. Marty continues working, though, sometimes overtime with out being paid a penny more. When the work is finally over, Judd gives Marty not only Shiloh, but also a dog collar for him: "Might be a little big, but he'll (Shiloh) grow into it."
