Eleven-year-old Marty Preston lives with his parents and two little sisters in the hills of rural West Virginia. Marty loves animals. When a shy beagle follows him home, Marty falls in love with the dog and names it Shiloh. His family, though, cannot afford a pet, and Shiloh already has an owner, Judd Travers. Marty thinks Judd abuses his dogs, so when Shiloh runs away from Judd again, Marty hides Shiloh in a secret pen. Marty struggles with the moral dilemma of lying to his family and stealing to keep Shiloh safe from Judd's abuse, but he is determined to devise a way to make Shiloh his dog.
