Shiloh is a 1996 American family drama film produced and directed by Dale Rosenbloom, based upon the original book of the same name written by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.

That night, when Ray thinks Marty is asleep he gives the dog a treat, and soon his heart softens.

Eventually, Marty goes to see Judd and threatens to report him for trying to shoot a deer out of hunting season, unless he agrees to sell Shiloh.

As he is leaving, however, Judd begins to reconsider, and eventually releases Shiloh from his truck and the dog runs into Marty's arms.

Roger Ebert gave the film 3.5 stars out of 4, calling it "a remarkably mature and complex story about a boy who loves a dog and cannot bear to see it mistreated" and that "it deals with real moral issues: with property, responsibility, and honesty, and with whether there is a higher good that justifies breaking ordinary rules".
