Shiloh Season is a movie from 1999 directed by Sandy Tung. It stars Zachary Browne as a young boy named Marty. This film is a follow-up to the 1997 movie Shiloh. Both movies are based on the popular book Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.

What the Movie is About

This movie continues the story of Marty Preston and his dog, Shiloh. In the first film, Marty worked hard to get Shiloh from Judd Travers. Judd used to own Shiloh, but now the dog belongs to Marty.

Marty and Judd's Difficult Start

At the beginning of Shiloh Season, Judd is still upset. He doesn't like that Shiloh is with Marty. Judd sometimes makes poor choices, like driving carelessly. One time, he almost causes an accident with Marty and Shiloh.

Marty sees Judd several times. In one scene, Judd thinks Marty is on his land. Judd gets very angry and confused. He goes to look for Marty, but he is not thinking clearly.

An Accident and a New Beginning

Later, Judd has an accident. His truck goes into a creek because he wasn't being careful. Shiloh's loud barking helps Marty find Judd. Marty helps Judd, and Judd is taken to the hospital.

After Judd returns home, Marty wants to be kind to him. Marty brings Judd gifts like bread and meat. Then, Marty starts writing letters to Judd. He tells Judd fun stories about Shiloh.

Building a Friendship

Judd reads Marty's letters. Slowly, he starts to feel a connection with Marty. By the end of the movie, Marty decides to bring Shiloh to visit Judd.

Marty and Judd begin to become friends. Judd even tells Marty that Shiloh was the one who truly saved him. Judd also starts to treat his own dogs better. He lets them come inside when it rains, showing he cares more about them.
