Once upon a time there was a dog named Lassie. She was part of a family who lived in England and she loved them dearly especially the boy named Joe. Hard times had befallen this family and feeding a dog was more than they could afford when the father lost his job. The family had to sell Lassie to the Duke who lived nearby.
No matter who the men thought owned this dog, Lassie knew she belonged with Joe. Every day she had run to meet Joe after school and now locked in a cage, she was unhappy. When the Duke moved Lassie to Scotland, 400 miles away, Joe knew he would never see his dog again.
What the heart of a dog can hold is greater than we can ever begin to know.
This is a gentle retelling of a classic story that every generation deserves to hear and hold dear.
