Lassie is a media franchise revolving around Lassie, a Heroic Dog.The franchise began with the 1943 film Lassie Come Home (based on a novel by Eric Knight), but really took off with the long-running TV series ("What's that, Lassie? Timmy's fallen down a well?").The original screen "Lassie" was a collie owned and trained by professional trainer Rudd Weatherwax, whose off-screen name was Pal. Pal starred in the 1943 film and six sequels; when the film series ended, Weatherwax acquired the Lassie trademark (in lieu of unpaid wages, according to one account), and the television series resulted. Pal retired partway through the two-decade run of the series, and was succeeded by a string of his descendants. (Yes, his. All the dogs who played Lassie were actually male; male collies were less subject to shedding issues due to hormones related to the female's heat cycle). | |

A Boy and His X: Boy and his dog. Different boy in each version, but always apparently the same dog. | |

Animals Lack Attributes | |
| Lassie (Franchise) / int_665136e6 | comment |
Animals Lack Attributes: Lassie is a female dog (note the root of the name is Lass not Lad) played by males with their belly hair coiffed very carefully to cover up the naughty bits. | |

Smart Animal, Average Human | |
| Lassie (Franchise) / int_8e05350 | comment |
Smart Animal, Average Human: Dave Barry repeatedly mentions that the smartest character on Lassie is the dog, as the family is forever getting themselves stuck in deadly situations that Lassie needs to fetch the rest of the family to get out of. And even then, Lassie needs to bark for ten minutes before they finally get the message despite this happening every week. He believes Lassie has to do their income taxes as well. | |
