Such great memories! Thank you for sharing them…and I hope you got a Collie when you were an adult!

My four siblings and parents couldn’t wait each week to walk through our woods to Grandma’s house to watch “Lassie,” as we didn’t have a tv. Lassie made us laugh, and cry bringing up emotional feelings in us. We had lots of dogs growing up, and loved them all, but I always wanted a collie dog just like “Lassie.” I loved the adventures we were taken on each week through her/his life. Never knew she was a male until I was in my fifties. I wish we had another show like this for my grandkids.

We had a mix breed, King, that was our Lassie embodiment.
King accompanied us as our overseer, herder, defender and sleeping bag warmer as we lived out our own “Lassie” adventures and misadventures on extended trail rides inspired and unleashed by TV influences. We were young city kids turned cowboys in rural Michigan. We had great parents, but not helicopter parents, we had a faithful dog.

Cried during her movies,as well as admired her for her courage! I had a collie when I was a child and I remember her being protective. When I married and we bought a house, after we had our first daughter, it began a succession of collies that we owned(4) for some time! I’m ready for another!

All she/he went through to get home. She arrived on Thanksgiving day, her fur burnt from saving a kitten. The family couldn’t believe it was her. All her travels and people she starred with, I watched. I cried,laughed and loved every show. Sincerely Linda Frazer
