Lassie's first owners were the Millers. The Millers had a son named Jeff. He was the first owner of the famous dog. Jeff's father had past away so him and his mother, Ellen, live with Ellen's father, Jeff's grandfather.

Lassie's second family was the Martin family. Timmy, who was Lassie's new companion, was a boy the Miller's adopted, but when the Miller's sold the farm, they left Timmy in the custody of the new owners of Ruth Martin and Paul Martin, along with Lassie. The adventures continued.

To continue with the story of Lassie, the Martins moved to Australia. Random, I think so. But, no worries, a forest ranger Corey Stuart and along with two other forest rangers adopted Lassie. The adventures continued.

In the final seasons of Lassie, she wonders around the country side and has little baby puppies. After this phase in life, she finds a children's home and is loved by many children and puts a smile on there face. This ended the T.V. series and movies are produced based off the T.V show. The actual T.V. was based off a movie, ironically.
Here is an episode of Lassie, The Storm. I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I do! Video found here
I've never known much about Lassie. Before reading this I was under the impression that Lassie was a male dog. All I remember hearing about this dog was "What is it boy? What? Timmy fell in the well?!" It's interesting that so many people know of Lassie but don't actually know anything about the dog. I find it strange that Lassie changed owners so many times. How could anyone give up a dog that helped their family so much?
ReplyDeleteYes, many people do not know the whole story of Lassie, just the name. I am personally an old soul and I highly enjoy this show and what it is about. In the show, it explains why the families let Lassie go. I hope one day this show will be on Netflix!
