The adventures of a boy and his beagle continue in this sequel to 1997's
Shiloh.
Marty Preston (
Zachary Browne, replacing
Blake Heron, who played the role in the first film) is a well-meaning 12-year-old who adopts
Shiloh, a beagle who was treated cruelly by his first master, a bitter alcoholic named
Judd (
Scott Wilson). However, when
Judd is hurt in an auto accident,
Marty realizes
Judd may have lost one of the only friends he had, even if he did mistreat
Shiloh. With help from his parents (
Michael Moriarty and
Ann Dowd),
Marty tries to help
Judd get back on his feet both physically and emotionally.
Rod Steiger also joins the cast returning from the first film as the crusty but lovable
Doc Wallace.
