An embittered WWII veteran returns to his grandfather's home in the Louisiana woods. The old man helps his grandson readjust by giving him two hound dog puppies to care for.
This guy can't seem to keep dogs! His two dogs died in the first movie. Now he's grown up and gets new dogs. They also die for weird reasons, and it seems to have no bearing on the plot. I guess the writers just thought a tragic ending would be better than a guy growing old and enjoying his life with his new dogs.
The back of the DVD description explains that the story picks up with Billy returning from WWII with PTSD, which is why his grandfather gifts him with two new redbone hound puppies like the ones he had as a child to "help Billy to rediscover the gift of giving and caring". I haven't watched the film, but according to other raters on here, those dogs die too???? What is this series...
