This is such a lovely story, really sweet and moving, with great descriptions and it shows the hradships that Lassie has to endure to reunite with her true owners.
From the back: Lassie, the prize dog of a cottager's household is sold to a wealthy family when hard times befall her owners. Taken hundreds of miles away, she does what many collies have done before her, she starts for home so that she can be faithful to a duty - that of meeting a boy by a school-house gate.

LASSIE lived at the Pilot Boat Inn, Lyme Regis. In 1915 the HMS Formidable became the first boat sunk in WWI by a German U-boat. Bodies from the Formidable were taken to the Pilot Boat. One crewman was thought to be dead, and was laid upon the floor. Lassie lay beside the 'dead' man and licked his face. The corpse suddenly awoke, much to the surprise of all present! This true story inspirated the series of Lassie books, films, and television series. She was not an invention of the writer but based on a factual dog and relocated to Yorkshire - only the name remained the same.
