For all the times Lassie had to find some wandering little moron who fell down a mineshaft, got treed by a mountain lion, etc., she (he) has earned a majority share in Milk Bone Inc.

If there is one thing I have learned from Where the Red Fern Grows, it's that dogs might save you from mountain lions, but they then die of injuries and heartbreak. So I'm giving them a doggie treat.

More than a teevee show, Rat, Lassie stared in a series of popular movies. My fav is the one where Lassie plays a disturbed and dangerous combat veteran.

Lassie started as a novel. I read it when I was a kid. It takes place in England. I believe it is called "Lassie Come Home." I remember from the back of the book that it "started it all," so it wasn't a novelization.

Where the Red Fern Grows makes me cry. So does the story of its author.

Little known fact: Lassie actually wrote that novel. Lassie also ghost-wrote The Rin-Tin-Tin Story during a brief period during the 50s when she/he was on the list.
