Shiloh
An abused beagle runs away from his owner. On the road, he meets young Marty Preston and follows him home. The boy immediately forms a bond with the dog and names him Shiloh. His stern father won't let him keep the dog because it belongs to Judd Travers, a local hunter. 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 up the hill from the Prestons' house and hides him from his family. His secret is soon discovered when a stray attacks the dog one night and he must turn to his father for help.
Editor's Verdict
"Shiloh is fundamentally a drama about animal abuse, a boy's moral struggle, and family dynamics. While it was released around the holidays, the narrative has virtually no direct connection to the Christmas season, themes, or iconography. The 'Holiday Release' noted is insufficient to classify it as a Christmas movie."
