Plot
Judd is upset that Shiloh (his former hunting dog) now belongs to Marty. In the first film, Marty did hard labor to get Shiloh from Judd. Judd starts drinking more heavily and almost runs Marty and Shiloh off the road with his truck. Marty encounters Judd several times, including one key moment when Marty and his friend David Howard spy on Judd from behind a tree in front of his house.
Later, Judd crashes his truck into the creek while driving drunk. Shiloh's loud barking gets Marty's attention, and he finds Judd. Judd is taken to the hospital and returns home sometime later. Marty wants to be nice with Judd and makes donations of bread and meat. Marty then starts writing Judd letters, telling him stories about Shiloh. Judd reads them and starts to bond with Marty.
In the end, Marty decides he wants to take Shiloh with him to visit Judd. Marty and Judd start to become friends. Judd starts to gets close with his dogs and he lets them come inside when it starts to rain.
