Recommended for ages 7+. Marty wasn't looking for a pet, but when a beagle puppy unexpectedly starts following him home, he can hardly resist the temptation to take him in and begs his parents to keep him. But when they learn that the dog has run away from its real owner-a mean-spirited hunter who abuses him-young Marty is faced with some very difficult moral and emotional dilemmas. Based on Phyllis Reynolds Naylor's bestselling novel, Shiloh is beautifully acted (with a great performance by Rod Steiger) and photographed, a film that will touch your heart and make you want an adorable beagle of your own! A hit at the 1996 Mill Valley Film Festival.
