Famous Canines - Lassie

Lassie, a female Rough Collie, is 'the world's most famous dog' and a fictional character who has starred in many radio shows, movies, TV shows, and books from 1938 through 2006. The character of Lassie was created by British-American author Eric Knight in Lassie Come-Home in 1938.

In 1943 the book was made into what would become the first Lassie movie which generally followed the plot of the book. Since then, there have been numerous sequels, television series and spin-offs throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, made by various production companies, with varied casts and themes, making the Lassie concept as a television series one of the very longest running of any collective series. Lassie was so popular that it is one of only three dog characters considered "stars" who were awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
