Shiloh is a Family/Drama film produced and directed by Dale Rosenbloom in 1996. It was shown at the Heartland Film Festival in 1996, but its general release came on April 27, 1997. The original book by the same name was written by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. There are two sequels, Shiloh 2: Shiloh Season (1999) and Saving Shiloh (2006), both directed by Sandy Tung.
An abused beagle runs away from his cruel owner (Judd Travers) and meets Marty Preston. The dog then follows the boy home, but is not allowed to stay. So, Marty makes shelter from an abandoned shack at the top of a hidden hill, for the dog to stay in for the next few weeks. Marty immediately bonds with the dog and names him Shiloh. His stern father, Ray, won't let the boy keep the dog because it belongs to Judd Travers, a local hunter. Judd is a mean old man that hunts with his dogs. Shiloh was the most mistreated puppy out of the pack. They return Shiloh to the owner but after Shiloh is mistreated again, he runs away and returns to Marty. Knowing his father will once again make him take Shiloh back to Judd, Marty hides Shiloh in a shed behind his house. His secret is soon revealed when his mother, Louise, comes up the hill and sees Marty and Shiloh bonding by the hut. When the Bakers' German Shepherd attacks Shiloh, Marty has to turn to Ray to help. Marty takes Shiloh to a vet and Shiloh recovers quickly. Soon, Ray said that it was time to take Shiloh back to Judd. Marty fights a little with his dad about keeping Shiloh and about how much Judd abuses him. Ray initially agrees only to keep Shiloh until he recovers and tries not to grow attached to him, but that night, when he thinks Marty is asleep, gives him a treat and afterwards no longer fights Marty's desire to keep the dog. Eventually Marty goes to see Judd and ask him if he could clean up his (Judd's) place in trade of Shiloh.

And the world you know comes crashing down right before your eyes
You keep it all inside but still you can't decide
If you should blame yourself or everyone else, but you're just tryin' to survive
When there's nothing left to lose
If I had to choose I'd say
If you're strong enough to cry
And you need someone to be there for you
Let go of all your pride
Just cry, Just cry
When it seems so far away and you're waiting on a change
And you feel like no one listens to a single word you say
You've been searching for the words, but your silence can't be heard
And you say that you'll be fine, but you've had better days
When there's nothing left to lose
If I had to choose I'd say
If you're strong enough to cry
And you need someone to be there for you
Let go of all your pride
Just cry, Just cry, Just cry
If you're strong enough to cry
And you need someone to be there for you
Let go of all your pride
Just cry, Just cry
