After Marty Preston worked so hard to earn the dog, Shiloh, he had hoped
that his troubles with Judd Travers were over. He could not rescue all
the dogs that Judd mistreated, but since Shiloh was the one who ran away
and came with him, Shiloh was the one he loved. Judd, however, has other
problems. Anyone who cheats and swears and lies and kicks his dogs has
troubles inside himself, and when the man starts drinking, Marty
realizes that Shiloh is in danger once again. As hunting season
approaches and Judd begins hunting on their land, the Prestons know that
something is bound to happen. They're right. Marty does the only thing
he can think of to do, and discovers just how deep a hurt can go and how
long it takes to heal.
