Synopsis Having become the legal owner of the dog Shiloh, Marty Preston thinks he is finally done dealing with Shiloh's abusive former owner, Judd Travers. Unfortunately, Judd is not done with Marty or Marty's family and his drunken behavior becomes more and more abusive. When Judd drunkenly drives his truck into a ditch and is badly injured, Marty comes to see a different side of the man.
When mean and angry Judd, who has never known kindness, takes to drinking and mistreats his dogs, Marty discovers how deep a hurt can go and how long it takes to heal.

Industry Reviews "All in all, this sequel is worthy of the original..." Washington Post Book World - Michael Dirda (10/06/1996)
"There is more external action in this sequel than in the first book, and the violence is somewhat more overt...The humor is more overt as well, however, with Marty's moral wrestling and the tension created by the unpredictability of a dangerous man offset by stories of Grandma, who has turned senior-citizen desperado in the nursing home." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Janice M. Del Negro (12/19/1996)
"...readers will find Marty's anxiety, and his love for Shiloh, engrossingly genuine." Kim
