Lassie Come Home

 A Thrilling Saga Of Courage And Loyalty !

Set in Depression-era Yorkshire, England, Mr. and Mrs. Carraclough are hit by hard times and forced to sell their rough collie Lassie to the rich Duke of Rudling, who has always admired her. Young Joe Carraclough grows despondent with the loss of his companion. Lassie will have nothing to do with the Duke, however, and finds ways to escape his kennels and return to Joe. The Duke finally carries Lassie to his home hundreds of miles distant in Scotland. There, his granddaughter Priscilla senses the dog's unhappiness and arranges her escape. Lassie then sets off for a long trek to her Yorkshire home and the boy who loves her. She faces many perils along the way but also meets kind people who offer her aid and comfort. At the last, when Joe has given up hope of ever seeing his dog again, the weary Lassie returns to her favorite resting place in the schoolyard at home. There, Lassie is joyfully reunited with the boy she loves.
