Once upon a time in a small forest on the outskirts of Tulsa, Oklahoma deep in the woods there lived a unique tree. Although there were many other trees that grew in the forest this tree was very different because it didnt grow like the other trees. It was tall, thin, and had very few branches and needles. One day some men came through the forest to cut down some of the trees. Christmas was coming in four days and they needed some trees to take back into town to the Christmas tree lot. They cut down lots of trees from the forest when one of the workers came across the awkward looking tree. Look at this awkward looking tree, said the worker. I dont think we should take this tree back to the lot. Another worker replied, It is a weird looking tree but lets take it anyway and well sell it very cheap. So the worker cut down the tree. No one is going to buy this ugly tree, he said, as he threw it on the back of the truck. They all laughed, but little did they know, the weird looking tree had magical powers.

Eleven-year-old Marty Preston loves to spend time up in the hills behind his home near Friendly, West Virginia. Sometimes he takes his .22 rifle to see what he can shoot, like some cans lined up on a rail fence. Other times he goes up early in the morning just to sit and watch the fox and deer. But one summer Sunday, Marty comes across something different on the road just past the old Shiloh schoolhouses -- a young beagle -- and the trouble begins. What do you do when a dog you suspect is being mistreated runs away and comes to you? When it is someone else's dog? When the man who owns him has a gun? This is Marty's problem, and he finds it is one he has to face alone. When his solution gets too big for him to handle, things become more frightening still. Marty puts his courage on the line, and discovers in the process that it is not always easy to separate right from wrong. Sometimes, however, you do almost anything to save a dog.
