He keeps them chained up outside and deliberately keeps them hungry so that they will be better hunters. He names him Shiloh, after the place where he found him.ĭespite Marty's pleas, his parents make him turn the dog back over to Judd Travers, whom Marty doesn't like at all.
When Marty goes home the dog follows him. It's obvious that the beagle is not well cares for and Marty wants to help but he struggles communicating with him until he thinks to whistle this works like magic and the dog responds, licking Marty's face and trotting along by his side. The dog seems shy but receptive to Marty although he doesn't respond to Marty's call of "Here, boy!" Thinking that the skinny pup got out from a nearby house and will probably make his way back there, Marty keeps walking but when he turns he sees that the dog is following him. On one of his walks, Marty finds a beagle cowering in the bushes so he goes over to the dog and pets him. Marty Preston is an eleven year old boy who likes to walk the backwoods behind his house.
